William Carlos Williams' Collected Poems Volume I reissued as a
Carcanet Classic. Described by Thom Gunn as `an ideal edition',
this first volume of William Carlos Williams' Collected Poems is a
vivid account of his formation as a poet, his time in Europe, and
his interactions with the major players of Modernism (he never
quite appreciated that he was one of them). The poems are printed
in the order of original publication, starting with The Tempers
(1913) and ending with Poems 1936-1939. Williams remains one of the
most popular American poets of all time, Whitman's heir but with a
voice wholly unlike Whitman's: provincial, particular, never quite
settled. His material is the stuff of daily life, though he takes
big risks of theme: `the urgent insurgent now' that he lives and
celebrates becomes history; it can generate energy even from the
past.

Laurence Olivier directs and stars in this classic adaptation of
Shakespeare's play about the king who led England to victory in the
Battle of Agincourt. The film pays tribute to its origins by
opening in a version of the Globe Theatre in 17th century London,
where Henry (Olivier) takes to the stage along with a variety of
nobles to discuss his plans to stake a claim to the French throne.
As the range of Henry's ambitions make themselves known, the
theatrical artifice gives way to a more naturalised style and
follows Henry as he sets sail from Southampton with his army.
Inspired by Henry, the invading English hand the French several
defeats, culminating in a triumph against far superior numbers at
Agincourt. Shot during WWII, the film was designed to raise morale
in the ongoing battle against Nazi Germany and earned Olivier an
Academy Award for his 'outstanding achievement' in bringing the
film to screen.
Five Bagatelles were written for Julian Bream and dedicated to
Malcolm Arnold 'with admiration and affection for his 50th
birthday'. They were given their first performance in Bath on 27th
May 1972.
