New Selected Poems by John Fuller
A selection of poems, made by the author himself, is taken from his last eight collections and spans over twenty-five years of work. His poems, brilliant in their dexterity and virtuoso in their use of form, engage with a spectacular range of subjects, revealing a dark, haunted imagination leavened by moments of exuberant levity.
An excellent introduction to one of England’s greatest poets – an artist unafraid to combine intellect with sensuousnessAfter all, sometimes “poetry’s the only heaven we have”. -- Mark Sanderson * Telegraph *
