About this product

Product Information

Winner of both the Queen's Gold Medal and the Whitbread Prize for Poetry, James Fenton has given readers some of the most memorable lyric verse of the past decades, from the formal skill that marked his debut, Terminal Moraine, to the dramatic and political monologues of The Memory of War and Children in Exile, through to the unforgettable love poems of Out of Danger and his most recent work: Poems is an essential selection by, as Stephen Spender put it, 'a brilliant poet of technical virtuosity'.

Value, quality, satisfyingly quirky
James Fenton presents his thoughts with a satisfying journalistic style: factual content high, woolly self contemplation, minimal. He often pulls off formal lyrics, effectively weaving in modern history. One test of his ‘voice’ is his reading of selected poems of Auden: natural and clear. The only other poet I know is Larkin who manages not to sound as if he’s ‘working it up’. (I bet Hardy would have been equally natural). This was an immaculate hardback version for a tenner. Unbelievable value. I guess all the rest of humanity have now given up on the delights of tangible artefacts like books (even durable hardbacks). Their loss is funding my gain. So chaps, of course, go ahead, store your world on microchips, and leave me to earthy reality.
