Hughes, Ted. "Crow Blacker Than Ever".

Summary

- an absurd and morbid story of the triumphing crow

- God gets disgusted with man and turns twd heaven, while man gets disgusted with God and turns twd Eve, both heaven and earth are falling apart

- the crow makes an artificial joint of heaven and earth, makes God man-like and man God-like, which ends up in "A horror beyond redemption"

- the crow triumphs over this all and plants his black flag

 

Analysis

- experimental form: no rhyme, extremely variable line length and stanza, stark repetition 

- the form reinforces the discomforting content
