Description
Basil Bunting's Briggflatts is a complex and deeply personal work that explores the poet's own character and experiences. Written as an 'autobiography', this long poem draws on elements of Bunting's life, knowledge, and cultural heritage to create a rich and nuanced exploration of identity. The poem's structural models are drawn from classical music and medieval art, while its themes recall those of William Wordsworth's Prelude. A unique blend of modernist poetry and traditional forms, Briggflatts is characterized by its musical quality, which Bunting believed was essential to the poet's craft. This Bloodaxe Books edition includes a CD with an audio recording of Bunting reading his poem in 1967, as well as a DVD featuring a film portrait of the poet. The book also includes Bunting's seminal essay on sound and meaning in poetry, 'The Poet's Point of View', and other background material.
