Carcanet has always been the place to look for considerations of purely literary and intellectual merit. Its list relies on the vision and the faith and the energy of people who care about books, and values. It is thus as rare as it is invaluable.

Forgive Me, Sire Forgive me, Sire, for cheating your intent,
The Dirty Little Accuser Who invited him in? What was he doing here, What was worse, if, as often happened, we caught him out Yesterday we ejected him, nearly by force, Yet there’s this check on our righteous jubilation:
Lay from François Villon Death, of thy rigour I complain: We had one heart between the twain:
A newly revised paperback issue of the first complete edition of Norman Cameron’s poetry. As Jonathan Barker writes in his introduction, it is ‘the product of the shared transatlantic enthusiasm of Warren Hope and myself for the work of a poet whom we both see as unjustly neglected.’ Cameron (1905–53) has never lacked admirers among his fellow poets – Roy Fuller, Geoffrey Grigson, Robert Graves, among others – but since his skilful, moving and quietly memorable poems have not been reprinted since 1957, they have not reached the wider audience which they deserve. |
