About This Item
Manchester: Carcanet New Press, Ltd.. Very Good/Very Good. 1977. First Edition. Hard Cover. 8vo Dust jacket unclipped. Green cloth with bright gilt titling on spine. Book plate on f. paste down. Name and date on ffep. 96 pages clean and tight. Michael Hamburger's new collection of poems includes the definitive version of his much-acclaimed long poem `Travelling', here printed with its final section, as well as new work that extends his formal and thematic range. The poems draw from a wide experience of travel and of domestic change. The traveller attempts to put down roots in a landscape complex and sometimes inhospitable. There is a civic dimension to many of these poems, an acute concern for the polis and for the human predicament of his fellow creatures, human, animal and vegetable. Of his previous new and selected poems, Ownerless Earth, the Guardian reviewer wrote: `The book is healing and humanizing ... Michael Hamburger is writing for us, now. We are fortunate.' .
