Excellent- More about New Selected Poems of W. S. Graham
W. S. Graham's words are as relevant today as they were when he was born a century ago. His exploration of language, art, and love for his native Clydeside and Cornwall continue to attract readers, and his New Selected Poems presents his best and most characteristic work. This collection includes his epic seafaring masterpiece "The Nightfishing" and his quirky metaphysics of "Implements in their Places," as well as some remarkable uncollected work.

One hundred years after his birth, W. S. Graham's words resonate with an even greater intensity. His nuanced exploration of language's paradoxes, his unwavering belief in the transformative power of art, and the deep affection he holds for the people and landscapes of his native Clydeside and adopted home of Cornwall continue to captivate an ever-growing readership. Through startlingly original poems, he celebrates the essence of family and friendship, while also pushing the boundaries of our understanding of the world and our place within it.
Graham's literary journey reached a pivotal moment with the publication of his New Collected Poems in 2004. This comprehensive collection brought together all the poems from his seven collections, as well as some unpublished material that had surfaced since his passing in 1986. Now, as we commemorate his centenary, this New Selected Poems presents the very best and most characteristic works of this renowned British poet. From his epic seafaring masterpiece, "The Nightfishing," to the quirky metaphysics of "Implements in their Places," as well as a selection of his early neo-romantic poems, which Graham himself considered essential to a comprehensive understanding of his oeuvre, this collection offers a remarkable glimpse into his artistic brilliance.
Moreover, it includes some remarkable uncollected work, adding depth and richness to our appreciation of Graham's poetic legacy. There is no better way to embark on a journey into the world of one of the greatest British poets of the twentieth century than by delving into the pages of this New Selected Poems.
