The book is a synopsis of 31 proverbs, the writers of the proverbs being more than one individual. But the greater part written by King Solomon, King David's son and heir, known for his wisdom, his wealth and his wide experience of life at that time. Many of the 'sayings' contained in the proverbs are applicable to all generations, irrespective of the 'so called progress or change' as they relate to everyday life. Some sayings have proved to be 'lasting adages. Even to this present day, being used and quoted by the ordinary person as well as the more educated individual. Activities and experiences in modern day living are common to most individuals, paios and groups, and the proverbs are written to instruct, guide, encourage, warn etc, individuals, particularly family children and the wider circle of the dangers that lurk within social activities to the unaware; activities that can bring about regret, sorrow, misery, trouble and even fatality. Wise counsel is necessary to enable avoidance of such and give opportunity to establish character, and social acceptance, with responsible behaviour. Reverence toward God and His laws are to the fore and encouraged, even rewarded, as part of life's progress and success.Much is to be gained from an in depth knowledge of the book of proverbs and the keeping of its advice.

A professional man of letters - critic, editor, biographer - though never a professional poet, Ian Hamilton (1938-2001) referred to his poems as 'miraculous lyrical arrivals', and he bided their time with exemplary patience and humility. His widely praised first collection, The Visit, published by Faber in 1970, was incorporated into Fifty Poems in 1988, itself expanded to Sixty Poems in 1998. In a preface to the former collection, he wrote: 'Fifty poems in twenty-five years: not much to show for half a lifetime, you might think. And in certain moods, I would agree.' Readers of Hamilton's condensed and immaculate oeuvre have felt otherwise: the poems of his youth and middle years (there was to be no opportunity for a late flowering) acquired talismanic significance for his contemporaries, and their combination of terseness and emotional intensity continues to set an example to younger poets. 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Poems contains all of the poetry that Ian Hamilton chose to publish, together with a small number of uncollected and unpublished poems; it also supplies an illuminating introduction, and succinctly helpful apparatus.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.

The search for love (or failing that, sex), the passing of time and the inevitability of pain and grief, the struggle for transcendence against our awareness of limitation: these are the things that can suddenly seem to compose a life - a life not so much reduced to essentials as seen in its passionate essence, a 'shorter' life.
