Description
Fleur Adcock's Poems 1960-2000 is a comprehensive retrospective of her work, showcasing the poet's unique voice and perspective. This collection brings together some of her most celebrated poems, including 'Against Coupling', 'Smokers For Celibacy' and 'The Prize-Winning Poem', alongside modern classics such as 'The Ex-Queen Amongst the Astronomers' and 'Things'. Born in New Zealand, Adcock's poetry explores themes of identity, family history and personal relationships with a characteristic blend of irony, psychological insight and unsentimental wit. Her poems tackle complex subjects with honesty and caustic wit, making this collection a compelling read. This is the first Bloodaxe retrospective of Adcock's poetry, featuring work from her later Oxford collections 'The Incident Book', 'Time-Zones' and 'Looking Back'. With its wide-ranging themes and characteristic style, Poems 1960-2000 offers a unique insight into one of Britain's most accomplished poets.
