Synopsis

Since the 1950s, Peter Redgrove has written poems of imagination and power, so with this volume, a distillation of his work from "The Collector" (1959) to "Assembling a Ghost" (1996), the reader can begin to appreciate the elements of his alchemy.

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

"Redgrove is thunderously, exhilaratingly good" (Adam Thorpe)

"He is recognised today as one of the few poets capable of sustained rapture, a heirophant of alchemical mysteries, chronicler of sexual ecstasies, witness to sensual, synaesthetic delights beyond the reach of most of us" (Gerard Woodward)

"Redgrove's strengths are a clairvoyant creativity, glittering images and glittering risk...wonderful imaginative leaps of seeing, glancing epiphanies...or sustained surrealities which etch the surprisingness of the world" (Ruth Padel)

"I would use the old-fashioned term "genius" of Redgrove" (Anthony Thwaite)
