9781847772527: New Selected Poems

Synopsis

Drawing on the work of 45 years, starting with his debut collection, One and One, this collection of P. J. Kavanagh poems demonstrates his understanding of how contradictions coexist in nature and in us. Out of that vexed coexistence he makes poetry that, formally poised, packs the punch of revelation. Kavanagh has done so much to revive interest in British nature writing, and has contributed so much to it himself, nowhere more so than in his poetry. Internationally acclaimed Irish poet Derek Mahon provides an illuminating foreword, to set Kavanagh’s work in context.

About the Author

P. J. Kavanagh has worked as a lecturer, an actor, and a broadcaster, as well as a writer. His memoir, The Perfect Stranger, won the Richard Hillary Prize, and his first novel, A Song and Dance, was awarded the Guardian Fiction Prize. He is also the author of A Kind of Journal and Something About, and the editor of Collected Poems of Ivor Gurney.

Review

'The pleasure of reading these poems is the pleasure of exceptionally good company. Kavanagh has exactly the right kind of curiosity - neither pedantic nor trifling, but casual in the best sense.' --Wynn Wheldon, Spectator

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In his foreword to this book, Derek Mahon notes that P.J. Kavanagh's poems 'elude the obvious categories. He has never been one of a "school"'. A poet of rural England, yet of Irish ancestry, Kavanagh 'has always stood slightly apart'. He championed the poems of Ivor Gurney and shares with Gurney not only a personal landscape (that of Gloucestershire) but a poetic commitment to the actual and specific, to nature writing at its most rootedly precise. His is, in Mahon's words, 'a unique personal record': 'a lifetime's dedication has produced its rich results'. A gathering of work by one of Britain's most vital and well-established poets.
