News at Eleven: The British Library is also releasing

an audio CD of [Sylvia] Plath recordings, including a rare recording of Plath and [Ted] Hughes talking about their relationship. The poet, who committed suicide in 1963 aged 30, is heard speaking cheerily about life in England, and about her meeting and marriage to Hughes.

The pair explain how they met at the party for the launch of the Saint Botolph's Review--an encounter later related by Hughes in his poem St Botolph's, published in Birthday Letters in 1998.
