Quote of the Day
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.

‘Most of what there is to learn about poetry has to be learnt in one’s own language. But it is mostly learnt by reading and turning over poems in one’s head, and little by deliberate criticism.’ Peter Levi’s essay – meditated, as he says in his preface, with passion and written with great excitement – is entertaining, stimulating and controversial. It is ‘not a thesis but a consideration of some important themes which are inter-related.’ |
