Ideal for readers passionate about 20th-century poetry, Romantic literary traditions, and those interested in exploring the full scope of W. S. Graham's influential work.

'I first read a W S Graham poem in 1949. It sent a shiver down my spine. Forty-five years later nothing has changed. His song is unique and his work an inspiration.' - Harold Pinter.

Description

From his first publications in the early 1940s to his final works of the late 1970s, W. S. Graham has given us poetry of intense power and inquisitive vision—a body of work regarded by many as among the best Romantic poetry of the twentieth century. Graham died in 1986 with much of his work gathered in Collected Poems 1942-1977.

However, two posthumous collections—Uncollected Poems (1990) and Aimed at Nobody (1993)—have unearthed a wealth of important new material and heightened the need to retell the full publication story. Edited by poet and Graham-scholar Matthew Francis, this New Collected Poems offers the broadest picture yet of Graham's work.
