Ian Hamilton Collected Poems
Пра гэту электронную кнігу
Edited by Alan Jenkins, this authoritative Collected Poems contains all of the poetry that Ian Hamilton chose to publish, together with a small number of uncollected and unpublished poems; it also supplies an illuminating introduction, and succinctly helpful apparatus. The result is an edition whose thoroughness and tact are themselves a moving tribute, restoring to view one of the most disinctive bodies of work in twentieth-century English poetry.

'A uniquely lyrical, passionate and sorrowing voice. There's no one better at describing a world by inference: his diction and cadences draw you in immediately.' David Harsent
'A great editor, a moving poet, and a critic of unfailing judgement.' Blake Morrison, Guardian
