Description:
The definitive anthology spanning from 1948-2014, complete with new poems, from multi-award winning Dannie Abse, one of Britain's most well-respected poets. This is the collection of a lifetime's work from one of Britiain's best-loved poets. Dannie Abse has published an array of work including fiction, autobiography, and plays but he is best known, and critically acclaimed, as a poet. Dannie Abse collects together here the definitive jewels of his cannon. This volume comprises both a distinguished collection of his past work and a generous selection of new poems.
Review Quotes: "Glorious . . . Abse's warmth and lightness of touch is evident whether applied to young love, the horrors of war or the quiet absorption of grief." --Maria Crawford, Financial Times Poetry Books of the Year
