One hundred years after his birth, W. S. Graham's words seem more
awake than ever. His subtle exploration of the paradoxes of
language, his passionate conviction of the importance of art and
the love he expresses for the people and landscapes of his native
Clydeside and adopted home of Cornwall attract more readers each
year. In startlingly original poems, he celebrates family and
friendship and probes the limits of our understanding of the world
and our place in it. Graham's New Collected Poems (2004) marked a
crucial point in the growth of his reputation, bringing together
for the first time all the poems of his seven collections as well
as some of the unpublished material that had come to light since
his death in 1986. Now, as we honour his centenary, this New
Selected Poems presents his best and most characteristic: from his
epic seafaring masterpiece 'The Nightfishing' to the quirky
metaphysics of 'Implements in their Places', as well as a selection
of his early neo-romantic poems, which Graham himself believed were
essential to a full understanding of his oeuvre, and some
remarkable uncollected work. There is no better way to make the
acquaintance of one of the greatest British poets of the twentieth
century.
