Peter Reading was one of Britain's most original and controversial
poets: angry, uncompromising, gruesomely ironic, hilarious and
heartbreaking - as funny as he was disconcerting. Over four decades
he became our most skilful and technically inventive poet, mixing
the matter and speech of the gutter with highly sophisticated
metrical and syllabic patterns to produce scathing and grotesque
accounts of lives blighted by greed, meanness, ignorance, phony
media flimflam, political ineptness and cultural impoverishment.
Each of his collections is self-contained, as carefully constructed
and plotted as a novel, interweaving voices and narrative strands
which can now be seen to link the 24 books which make up his
Collected Poems. This was published in three volumes from Bloodaxe:
Poems 1970-1984 (1995), Poems 1985-1996 (1996) and Poems 1997-2003
(2003). He subsequently produced two later collections, -273.15
(2005) and Vendange Tardive (2010). He died in 2011. The
collections included (in full) in Volume 3 of his Collected Poems
are: Work in Regress (1997), Ob. (1999), Marfan (2000), [untitled]
(2001), Faunal (2002), Civil (2002) and d (2003).
