For and After by Christopher Reid

For and After by Christopher Reid

For and After is Christopher Reid's fourth collection of poems to be published by Faber & Faber, and his first since Expanded Universes in 1996. It consists, more or less half and half, of poems bearing dedications to friends, colleagues and loved ones, and translations or versions of works in foreign languages, including a passage from The Odyssey and a miscellany of pieces by Horace, Leopardi, Baudelaire, Rilke and others. By turns intimate and affectionate, satirical and mischievous, For and After is a dazzling insight into one of the most imaginative minds in the business.

'Reid is a poet who lives on in the mind, becomes part of one's own inner vocabularyIn every poetic generation there are not more than one or two like that'. Poetry Review
