Product Description
Product Description
A new collection of poetry from England's most brilliant and provocative poet prophet. Hill's most recent books, "The Triumph of Love", "Orchards of Syon" and "Scenes from Comus", have received phenomenal reviews: 'With his new collection of poems, Geoffrey Hill so entirely eclipses most of his contemporaries that it seems meaningless to rank him in relation to them. Trumpets should be blown, garlands made, televisions turned off across the land and the book dropped free from aeroplanes ...he has never been more loquacious, playful, wildly comic or poignant. His greatness is as certain as that of the poets he invokes.' - "Telegraph". 'Hill can write lines with a deep gravelly ring to them which could only come from powerful thinking about the English language and its inner energies. He can describe England with a warm depth that no other living poet can match' - "Guardian". 'England's best hope for the Nobel Prize ...People who like poetry cannot get enough' - "Spectator".

Without Title is no question the best poetry book published in England in 2006; it is also the best book by Geoffrey Hill (in English poetry after the war Larkin's and Hughes' equal, & in certain debatable respects greater than they) since Speech! Speech!, the Pindarics providing its masterly centerpiece. Buy this & the Selected for an introduction to the work of this beautiful, profound, unnerving writer.

I have not read this book but I have read four other books of so-called poetry by Geoffrey Hill. I'm sure that this is as devoid of value as the rest. With a few exceptions, modern poetry is as big a scam as Scientology or any of the traditional religions. It bears the same relationship to fine literature as Catholicism does to reality.That Hill choses his religious beliefs as the foundation for his language salads should be a stark clue that something is shaky up top. Hill is the Travolta or Cruise of his field.
