Product Description
Review
"'... surely one of the most exciting poetry collections to appear for some time, and his best book to date' Independent on Sunday"
Product Description
The title-sequence of David Harsent's new collection of poems, Legion, offers a report from an unnamed war, in which various images of conflict accrue without cohering, as if the reader is locked inside the crisis together with the protagonists. In a series of momentary and abruptly discontinuous images, laconic despatches from a war-zone, a fictional testimony begins to take shape - an array of different voices giving witness to war and the consequences of war. In its formal mastery of the poetic sequence, Legion is a distinguished successor to David Harsent's previous collection, Marriage.

Format:Paperback
You may not have heard of this poet before its winning the Foreward prize tonight. Not your fault. But he has been consistantly at the critical forefront of poetry for the last 20 years. This is his best book and anyone who is interested in what poetry can be or can do for the human spirit should read it.|This poet is not a polemicist and this is not political poetry but I hope that Tony Blair reads it and that it makes him a little less certain in his certainties
