Description
New Collected Poems is an updated version of Collected Poems (1999). It brings together, in a new form, the poems the author wishes to preserve from the work of half a century. Duly praised at home and abroad, they range in time and space from the early Ulster poems and 'A Disused Shed in Co. Wexford' to two ambitious sequences, 'New York Time' and 'Decadence'. Also included are the great recent flourish of Harbour Lights, Life on Earth and An Autumn Wind, and a group of previously uncollected poems, among them 'Monochrome', 'The One-Thirty' and 'Dreams of a Summer Night'
