Quote of the Day
...where the usual publisher's list might be like the contents of a bookshop, Carcanet's was like the contents of a private library. More than that, over the years, the Carcanet list has grown without any dilution of seriousness, so that looking at it now is like being invited to read the contents of a poet's library.

Praise for Robert Graves
There is eloquence, wit and a formal shapeliness in abundance from first to last. Michael Glover, Financial Times 10/02/01
While poetry schools came and went, Graves went on writing until his death in 1985, in an elegant, classically inspired style. Andrew Crumey, Scotland on Sunday 07/01/01
No one else offers his precise combination of eroticism, nightmare and epigram. Sean O'Brien, The Guardian 13/01/01
Graves experiences in the trenches of the First World War are most vivid and moving. Robert Nye, Scotsman on Sunday, 16/12/00
In his attitude to verse he remained a Georgian, an eccentric one. Eric Hester, Catholic Times 20/02/00
Graves enshrines his archetypal motifs of obsessive love in legendary contexts from which the contemporary world is resolutely excluded. Mark Ford, The London Review of Books
One of the twentieth century's major writers. Richard Foster, Yorkshire Evening Press
Graves is a poet and a visionary in his prose writings, always stimulating and frequently enlightening. Patrick Reilly, The Herald
