The definitive anthology spanning from 1948-2014, complete with new poems, from multi-award-winning Dannie Abse, one of Britain's most well-respected poets.

This is the collection of a lifetime's work from one of Britain's best-loved poets. Dannie Abse has published an array of work including fiction, autobiography and plays but he is best known, and critically acclaimed, as a poet.

Dannie Abse collects together here the definitive jewels of his canon. This volume comprises both a distinguished collection of his past work and a generous selection of new poems.


‘Abse has earned the reputation of being among the finest and most widely appreciated poets of the last century, and this century.’ – PN Review 

‘Delighting in our flaws and fleeting moments – how they impacted on our days and decisions, whether in work or marriage, health and aging, family and friendship, or heritage and faith – Abse showed us the magic of being alive and the joy of the unexpected.’ – Susie Wild
