Collected Poems and Prose by Harold Pinter

Collected Poems and Prose by Harold Pinter

An essential collection for any admirer of Harold Pinter, this brand-new, updated edition of his own selection of his poems and prose includes three never-before-published pieces, the most recent of which he wrote in January 1995. Included are love poems, political diatribes, short stories, character portraits. Some are intimately connected with plays; others are intriguingly allusive, and all of them share Pinter's lean, taut, and sometimes jarringly original use of language.

Katherine Burkman has said that like Shakespeare, Pinter is a poet, and in this single volume we see that Harold Pinter is not only, as Irving Wardle has written in the London Times, our best living playwright but one of the most accomplished writers in the English language today.

Harold Pinter (1930-2008) is one of the twentieth century's most highly recognized dramatists. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, the David Cohen British Literature Prize for a lifetime's achievement in literature, and the Laurence Olivier Award for a lifetime's achievement in theatre, as well as many other honors. His best-known plays include The Birthday Party, The Caretaker, The Homecoming, No Man's Land, and Betrayal.
