| From before the reign of Richard II up to the time of our own 'queer dean', this staggering excercise in biography and criticism covers every poet you have ever heard of, and as many again that you haven't. From old Scots to modern Caribbean, more than 250 poets are brought briefly and dazzlingly to life by profound scholarship and boundless enthusiasm. Open at any page and be stimulated, challenged and amazed by how little you know, and how much you now want to find out. If you wish to be, or already believe yourself to be, a poet, read this mill-race of a book and wonder........... |
