A generous selection of poems from 'one of the most talented and interesting poets writing in English today' (Robert Nye).
In a distinguished poetic career, Douglas Dunn has won the Somerset Maugham Award, the Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize, the Hawthornden Prize and the Whitbread Book of the Year. New Selected Poems 1964-2000 draws substantially upon the entire range of Dunn's poetry, from Terry Street (1969) to The Year's Afternoon (2000), and confirms his place 'among the finest of our poets' (Melvin Bragg).
'Elegies is probably the finest long poem of its kind since Tennyson's In Memoriam.' Jonathan Raban 'An enviable range of moods and measures, by turns wildly inventive, poignantly naked, dour, dramatic and funny.' Anthony Thwaite, Sunday Telegraph
