Selected Poems by James Fenton
For the first time, James Fenton selects the best of his prize-winning poetry for the "Penguin Selected" series. 'Passionate and personal; Fenton's poems can also be extremely funny and violent; they are always full of the pleasures of the language' - Paul Theroux. 'James Fenton is very popular - it's the way he writes, with a mixture of poetic language and real directness' - Peter Porter.
