Quote of the Day
Carcanet Press is our most courageous publisher. When you look at what they have brought out since their beginnings, it makes so many other houses seem timid or merely predictable.

'… difficulties with grammar now, with tense,
With mood, with person, case – and, yes, the sense.'
Wild and Wounded collects Michael Hamburger’s shorter poems since Intersections (2000). It is published to mark the 80th birthday of one of Britain’s leading poets of the last half-century. The dominant theme in these poems is the passing of time – whether referring to the injured swan in the collection’s title poem, a tree ‘surreptitiously dying’, or the poet himself. As illness, frailty, absence and obsolescence become more pressing to the poet, his poems, by contrast, achieve an enthralling robustness and vigour
Praise for Michael Hamburger
'O'Driscoll manages to get the reader as close to Hamburger as possible in one book. It feels very much like spending a week at your grandfather's house - getting to listen to all his stories, roaming through cupboards, reading the works hidden inside.'
Dominik Szczepaniak, DURA |
