Robert Sheppard's selection draws on every book of his poetry since
Returns (1985) through to Words Out of Time (2015), and is designed
to sample both the recurring and developing themes of his work and
their restlessly changing forms. Ian Davidson in Poetry Wales
called Sheppard's Complete Twentieth Century Blues 'a major poem of
serious intent'. Of his recent Shearsman collections, Alan Baker in
Litter called Warrant Error, 'political poetry of the first order';
Ben Hickman, in PN Review, wrote 'Berlin Bursts perhaps makes one
of the biggest claims for the inherent politics of language and art
in recent British poetry.' A Translated Man, a sequence of
'fictional poems', was described by Tom Jenks in Tears in the
Fence, as 'a compendious work, a vademecum for innovative writing'
and as 'a book which, whilst in keeping stylistically and
thematically with Sheppard's other work, exhibits a degree of
playfulness not always so obvious there...It is, above all, a
deeply pleasurable work.' Kelvin Corcoran wrote about Words Out of
Time: 'There you are characteristically free of flash or reserve
and it increases the sum of what can be written about, I think. And
it's funny.'
