William Carlos Williams valued Charles Tomlinson’s poetry: `He
has divided his line according to a new measure learned, perhaps,
for a new world. It gives a refreshing rustle or seething to the
words which bespeak the entrance of a new life.’ Of all the poets
of his generation, Charles Tomlinson was most alert to English and
translated poetry from other worlds. The Mexican poet Octavio Paz
admired how he saw `the world as event... He is fascinated – with
his eyes open: a lucid fascination – by the universal busyness,
the continuous generation and degeneration of things.’
Tomlinson’s take on the world is sensuous; it is also deeply
thoughtful, even metaphysical. He spoke of `sensuous cerebration’
as a way of being in the world. His poems are always experimenting
with impression and expression. This dynamic selection, edited by
the poet and Ted Hughes Award winner David Morley, presents
Tomlinson to a new generation of readers.
