It was as a poet that Samuel Beckett launched himself in the little
reviews of 1930s Paris, and as a poet that he ended his career. The
Collected Poems is the most complete edition of Beckett's poetry
and verse translations ever to be published, as well as the first
critical edition. It establishes a significant new canon, and the
commentary draws on a wide range of published sources, manuscripts
and Beckett's extensive correspondence. The notes place each poem
in context, detailing the history and circumstances of its
composition; they indicate significant variants and help explain
obscure turns of phrase and allusions (frequently sourced to
Beckett's notebooks); they also identify resonances between poems
and across Beckett's work as a whole. The commentary is written in
a lively and engaging style and is intended equally for the general
reader, the student of modernism and the Beckett specialist. Part
of a landmark publishing project to publish edited and corrected
texts of all of Beckett's works.
