Grappling with nature, religion, violence and politics, poems of
lucid intensity and astonishing power from three remarkable British
poets Geoffrey Hill (1932-2016) was often considered the greatest
English-language poet of his generation. Penguin Modern Poets 7:
God Is Distant gathers a selection spanning Hill's full body of
poetry, from the astonishing power and compression of the first
five decades to the greater experimentalism and fluency of the
creative outpouring that began in 1997, and places it alongside
work by two younger British poets: Rowan Evans, whose 'tirelessly
inventive' and 'vivid lyrical work' (Denise Riley, Eric Gregory
Award citation) plays with the legacy of late modernism to create
poetry of great beauty, energy and precision; and Toby Martinez de
las Rivas, whose first two collections have seen his 'visionary
disposition' (Guardian) build to rhetorical heights of Blakean
dimensions. Taken together, these are poems of lucid intensity,
high seriousness and knowing sidelong glances, as alert to the
natural world of the British countryside as they are to the body
that suffers and to questions of the soul. They take a long view of
humanity's riches and crises, and consider such issues as morality,
faith, innocence, redemption, the public spaces of democracy and
the acts of violence that rupture them.
