Review
'Departures' is a timely restoring to our attention of a very fine poet and a clear indication of what we have been missing. It is a must-read; almost a matter of conscience. (Matt Simpson in 'Stride Magazine')
Product Description
While resident in England in the 1960s and 1970s, David Wevill established a substantial reputation as a poet, publishing four volumes between 1964 and 1974. He won prizes, was represented in all the major anthologies of the period and was included in the renowned Penguin Modern Poets series before his first full collection appeared. With his move across the Atlantic, he fell from view in Britain, although his work continued to be published in his native Canada. This collection is designed to redress the balance and to bring his work before the British public once again, reprinting work from the four books published in London, and adding to them work from his subsequent Canadian collections.
