Alan Brownjohn has previously published two acclaimed volumes of "Collected Poems". This third edition adds over 140 poems to the second, which appeared as long ago as the end of the 1980s. It comprises all the work he wishes to retain from twelve individual books spanning six decades, as well as a number of new, uncollected poems. Wide ranging in theme and displaying an impressive mastery of form, this body of writing firmly establishes Alan Brownjohn's achievement as central to the English poetry of the last half-century.
