A Chiltern Hundred by Keith Bosley
The Chiltern Hundreds were three subdivisions of South Bucks - Desborough, Burnham and Stoke. This last is shared with Berkshire and dominated by the urban sprawl of Slough. This book celebrates it with a hundred poems of many kinds - historical, topographical, satirical and lyrical. It includes Classical odes, and ballade and villanelle.
Keith Bosley was born in the Hundred of Desborough in 1937 and read French at Reading, Paris and Caen. His last collection of poems, 'Stations', was published by Anvil in 1979. Over a dozen works of translation include 'Finnish Folk Poetry: Epic' (1977), 'Mallarme: The Poems' (1977), 'From the Theorems of Master Jean de La Ceppede' (1983). He has completed a verse translation of the 'Kalevala' for the OUP World's Classics.
