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.

Clutter The emptying of the house reminds me that You talked of weeds, flowering, fruiting. Still, “Don’t throw anything out!” you growled. But gradually I burrowed into these too, disposed of fistfuls. I’m reminded of this, as I box what remains unboxed.
Your Voice Inside the Abbey Unannounced, your voice filled the Abbey,
Untranslated Do I preserve what I know by not transcribing you, Letters to Ted is a remarkable collection of poems in memory of the late Poet Laureate, Ted Hughes, with whom Daniel Weissbort struck up a friendship, both literary and personal, during their student days in 1950s Cambridge. Swift-moving, by turns contemplative and dramatic in their narration, these spare, poignant, often diary-like poems conjure up a rich history of incidents and memories, creating a moving portrait of a great poet and a lasting friendship. |
