Bøger af C.K. Stead

Collects C.K. Stead's most recent poems. The brilliant and moving focus of the collection is its final sequence, written after Stead suffered a stroke which temporarily affected his ability to read and write. Here fragmentary poems poignantly explore frailty and the closeness of death, the challenge of words and language, and the relieved and excited recovery of the power to use them.

Another fine collection by one of the Commonwealth's best writers, who is now writing poetry prolifically as he pauses between novels. It includes some moving memories of childhood, poems about horses and cows, even one about his own legs.

A survey of modern English poetry from the new tradition established by Yeats in the 1890s through to an influential reading of Eliot, and including a reassessment of the Georgians and the influence of Pound.
