  • Edwin Morgan: Collected Poems

    by Edwin Morgan ...
    This collection of lyric epiphanies reveals the focus and refocus of sequences, the wily relocation of words in concrete poems, and the weird rhythms of sound poems. The poet's transforming imagination is democratic, generous, and inclusive. Even the sonnet form becomes a new experiment for a poet of questing and anarchic vision, unwilling to rest on rules. This volume includes Poems of Thirty ... Read more

  • Door into the Dark

    by Seamus Heaney ...
