    Anthem Press 2011; US$ 99.00

  • Beyond the Lyricby Fiona Sampson

    Random House 2012; US$ 22.66

    British poetry is enjoying a period of exceptional richness and variety. This is exciting but it's also confusing, and throws up the need for an enthusiastic guide that can explain and celebrate the many parallel poetry projects now underway. Beyond the Lyric does just that. This is a book of enthusiasms: an intelligent and witty map of... more...

    Random House 2012; US$ 25.33

    Michael Schmidt's anthology includes the work of more than a hundred poets from every part of the English-speaking world. What links their diverse voices is a common language: each poem, in its own way, adds to the resources of the medium and makes it new. The poems in this book are allowed to slip free of their moorings in the biography and... more...

  • Mental Fightby Ben Okri

    Ebury Publishing 2012; US$ 13.34

  • John Donneby John Carey

    Faber and Faber 2011; US$ 18.94

    'Donne is perhaps the most intellectual of English poets, and John Carey is perhaps the most intelligent of contemporary English literary critics. The encounter, as one might expect, is fierce and enthralling... This book is sensitive, searching, powerful, exciting, provocative and witty. It is a superb achievement.' Christopher Hill, TLS John Donne:... more...

  • Not Love Perhapsby A. S. J. Tessimond

    Faber and Faber 2011; US$ 14.57

    This selection of just over sixty poems made by his friend and literary executor, Hubert Nicholson, contains the best of A. S. J. Tessimond. And the best of A. S. J. Tessimond is good. Read, for example, 'The man in the bowler hat', 'Black Monday Lovesong', 'Song in a saloon bar' 'Cats 11' and, perhaps, best of all, 'Not love perhaps' itself. In their... more...

  • Selected Poems 1933-1993by Gavin Ewart

    Faber and Faber 2011; US$ 18.94

    'The most remarkable phenomenon of the English poetic scene during the last ten years or so has been the advent, or perhaps I should say the irruption, of Gavin Ewart' wrote Philip Larkin.

  • Against Oblivionby Ian Hamilton

    Faber and Faber 2012; US$ 18.94

    "Ian Hamilton's last book, published posthumously in 2002, is a typically brilliant revisiting of the concept of Samuel Johnson's classic Lives of the English Poets, wherein Hamilton considers 45 deceased poets of the twentieth century, offering his personal estimation of what claims they will have on posterity and 'against oblivion.' Examples of... more...
