Michael Hofmann is renowned as one of our most brilliant critics
and translators; that he is also regarded as among our most
respected poets - 'one of the definitive bodies of work of the last
half-century', TLS - is all the more impressive for his relatively
concentrated output. One Lark, One Horse will be his fifth
collection of poems since his debut in 1983, and his first since
Approximately Nowhere in 1999. But it is also one of the most
anticipated gatherings of new work in years. In style, it is as
unmistakable as ever: sometimes funny, sometimes caustic;
world-facing and yet intimate; and shows a bright mind burning
fiercely over the European imagination. Approaching his sixtieth
birthday, the poet explores where he finds himself, geographically
and in life, treating with wit and compassion such universal themes
as ageing and memory, place, and the difficulty for the individual
to exist at all in an ever bigger and more bestial world. One Lark,
One Horse is a remarkable assembly of work that will delight loyal
readers and enchant new ones with its approachable, companionable
voice.
