Available in a single volume, this collection includes the whole oeuvre of Tom Raworth's poetry. He was born in London in 1938 and lived in many places abroad before settling down in Cambridge where he was for a time the resident poet at King's College.
The first collection of Tom Raworth's poetry available in one volume, this work will change the way British poetry, in particular the modernist tradition, is seen. Part tragedy, part comedy, these poems reflect Raworth's view of life's fated inevitabilities. His sense of modern urgency plays against a similar sense of readiness in the spirit of Shelley and Byron. His eager verse will both challenge and fascinate those who wish to understand the value of British poetry.
