Details
This rich and varied collection, his first in ten years, gathers Harry Guest’s poems from 1983 to 1990. Intelligence, compassion, formal inventiveness and a gift for evocation both of landscape and things remembered blend to give his poetry its attractive and moving quality.
With Anvil Harry Guest has published four earlier collections of poetry, a short novel Days and a translation of selected poems by Victor Hugo, The Distance, The Shadows. He edited and translated Penguin’s Post-War Japanese Poetry. His recent books include a novel Lost Pictures and Traveller’s Literary Companion to Japan. He was awarded a Hawthornden Fellowship in 1993, and was appointed Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Exeter in 1994.
