| Synopsis: |
In recent years George MacBeth has sometimes seemed in danger of being forgotten. This selection, chosen from poems written when MacBeth was in his late teens to the work of his last months, will give a new generation the chance to enjoy his memorable voice. In her preface, Carol Ann Duffy writes that 'His poetry is eclectic, formally dazzling, gleefully experimental' and that this selection 'shows his generous ability to entertain, challenge and move his readers.' |
