Synopsis

One of Britain's most distinguished and longest-lived poets still writing, David Gascoyne now offers us this new collection of all the poems he wishes to preserve in a single volume. Superceding the outdated Collected Poems published in 1965, this volume contains numerous previously uncollected poems. Taken together, these poems establish Gascoyne as one of the key figures of the surrealist movement and of the 20th-century literary world. Gascoyne also includes an Introduction in which he reflects back over his long career as a poet.
