Review:
Praise for the Collected Poems of Ivor Gurney:
"A splendid selection...It is in his poems of the war--its scenes kept returning to him until he ceased to write--that Gurney is unique."--D.J. Enright, Observer
"A body of work which is extremely powerful...a significant landmark in literary history."--Times Literary Supplement
"These are poems that tell us we are in the presence of a great poet....An exemplary edition."--Donald Davie, The London Review of Books
"Excellent....These poems are a revelation. This book should at least establish that strange, uncomfortable, and neglected poet to rank with his contemporaries Wilfred Owens and Edward Thomas."--David Wright, Sunday Telegraph
