More About the Author
Product Description
Review
'Possibly the most original poet of his generation in England.' Edna Longley 'Hugo Williams's poetry is among the brightest on the contemporary scene - vivacious, human, lucid, sad and funny.' Douglas Dunn 'He writes with a clarity unequalled among his contemporaries.' Peter Porter
Product Description
In gathering four decades of work, Hugo Williams's Collected Poems brings back into print a vast body of material long since unavailable - from his 1965 debut Symptoms of Loss to Self-Portrait With a Slide (1990) - including Writing Home (1985), described by Mick Imlah in the Independent on Sunday as 'a classic of creative autobiography'. The edition is brought right up to date with his most recent work: Dock Leaves, a PBS Choice of 1994, and Billy's Rain, winner of the 1999 T. S. Eliot Award. Collected Poems brings together work from eight books that testify to Hugo Williams's reputation as a master of irony and autobiography; a writer subtly able to 'slip back to the past as effortlessly as a dreamer' (The Times).

This is a wonderful Collected. Hugo Williams poetry is accessible and carefully crafted - amusing, observant and wonderfully poignant. He is extremely good company. The poems are clear as a bell!

Superb,
By Archie "Muttley" (Suffolk) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Collected Poems (Paperback)
This collected poems is excellent - it is the first time I have tried Hugo Williams and he has succeeeded in becoming one of my favourite contemporary poets. THe language is relatively simple, yet the message and nostalgia layered withing the lines is fantastic. The truth behind Williams' poems is clear, not as critical as Larkin, but insightful nevertheless. If you are interested in poetry and enjoy it, then I highly recommend this book, it really is superb.
