Tony Harrison published his first pamphlet of poems in 1964 and for
over fifty years has been a prominent force in modern poetry. His
poetic range is truly far-reaching, from the intimate tenderness of
family life and personal love, to war poems written from Bosnia and
savage public outcries against politicians. In The Collected Poems,
Harrison draws deeply both on classical tradition and on the
vernacular of the street. Combining the private and the public in a
way Harrison has made distinctly his own, and drawing on his
working-class upbringing in Leeds, these are powerful poems for
modern times. This is the first complete paperback collection of
one of Britain's most controversial and critically acclaimed poets.
'Tony Harrison is the greatest poet of the second half of the 20th
century. . . He writes brilliantly about class, love and Britain'
Daniel Radcliffe 'Harrison is a masterly technician, and the most
fiery and indelible English poet of the age. This book is a
vineyard on a volcano' Paul Farley
