Wolverine.

A fine signed edition of Hughes' poem 'Wolverine', printed by the Morrigu Press in December 1979.

The Morrigu Press was founded by Nicholas Hughes, Ted's son, when he was eighteen years old. He had received the gift of an Albion handpress from his aunt, Olwyn Hughes, and between 1979 & 1983 printed and bound over twenty poems by hand in limited editions. Except for one poem by Charles Causley, Nicholas exclusively printed Hughes' poems; Hughes would complete a poem, and pass it on to Nicholas to be set up in type. The early publications, such as this, appeared as broadsides, the Press moving onto printed booklets from 1982.

The broadside poems are each accompanied by an illustration by the poet. Hughes' favourite illustrator & friend Leonard Baskin designed the logo for the Press, featuring a three-legged crow ('Morrigu' is an Irish goddess who sometimes took the form of that bird).
