Description
Anne Stevenson's Poems 1955-2005 is a comprehensive collection of her work, spanning over five decades. This remade edition draws on twelve previous collections and new poems, showcasing the poet's incisive and entertaining style.
Stevenson's poetry is rooted in close observation of the world and acute psychological insight, marrying critical rigour with personal feeling and a sharp wit. The book's new thematic arrangements highlight the craft, coherence and architecture of her life's work, including poems from her first two Bloodaxe collections, Granny Scarecrow and A Report from the Border.
