Produktinformationen "New and Selected Poems"
One of England's most celebrated poets, described by James Wood as "the major poet of his generation," Glyn Maxwell is the author of ten volumes of poetry, along with numerous plays, essays, libretti, and fiction. Steeped in the tradition of English verse, with a mastery of its prosodic possibilities, Maxwell's verse sounds an utterly contemporary note. Over decades, Maxwell has honed a voice capable of the tenderest elegies and the sharpest political satire. Mercurial - playful one minute, sober as sunlight the next - Maxwell's poems surge on sustained by urgent rhythms, their piercing intelligence modulated by an urbane wit: The other side took everything we know is true / and twisted it and why they pull the shit they do / we cannot fathom friend it's why we're asking you. This volume collects the very best of Maxwell's work to date, and gives us a precious glimpse of what the future holds.
