Things Common, Properly is a major retrospective collection of Peter Whigham’s poems and verse translations. The selection contains all the poems which he wishes to keep in print, and includes the whole of The Blue Winged Bee, which was a Poetry Book Society Choice in 1969. It also contains much previously uncollected and unpublished material, such as his poems about childhood (‘The Feast & The Gypsies’), his exquisite renderings of some Sappho fragments, and his adaptation of ‘The Genealogy of Women’ from Semonides. |
