This collection, drawing on almost forty years of verse, represents
the definitive guide to one of the leading English poets working
today. It will allow the reader the chance to survey both the
remarkable variety and the consistent quality of O'Brien's work, as
well as the enduring strength of his obsessions: these have helped
create a tone and a landscape as immediately recognizable as those
of MacNeice, Larkin or Eliot. O'Brien's hells and heavens,
underworlds and urban dystopias, trains and waterways have formed
the imaginative theatre for his songs, satires, pastorals and
elegies; throughout, the poems demonstrate O'Brien's astonishing
flair for the dramatic line, where he has inherited the mantle of
W. H. Auden. Also included are selections from both O'Brien's
dramatic writing and his acclaimed version of the Inferno.
