J.H. Prynne is Britain's leading late Modernist poet. His austere
yet playful poetry challenges our sense of the world, not by any
direct address to the reader but by showing everything in a
different light, enacting slips and changes of meaning through
shifting language. Not since the late work of Ezra Pound and the
Maximus series of Charles Olson have the possibilities of poetry
been so fundamentally questioned and extended as they are in the
life work of J.H. Prynne. When his Poems was first published in
1999, it was immediately acclaimed as a landmark in modern poetry.
Four further collections were added to the second edition of Poems
in 2005. This expanded third edition of Poems (2015) includes the
complete texts of his later work: Refuse Collection (2004), To
Pollen (2006), STREAK~~~WILLING~~~ENTOURAGE~~~ARTESIAN (2009), Sub
Songs (2010), Kazoo Dreamboats; or, On What There Is (2011), and
Al-Dente (2014), all previously available only in limited editions.
