Items related to Collected Poems (Oxford Poets S.)
Covering Charles Tomlinson's work over a period of thirty years, this volume reveals how his poetry moves continually between two poles--England and America, country and town, home and abroad, and nature and history. Tomlinson infuses his poetry with a special reverence for the natural world and a distaste for the human forces that inflict violence upon it. Revised and expanded, this new paperback edition now includes the poems that appeared in the collection, Notes from New York.

Review:
'Tomlinson insists, and he has a right to insist, that he is as authentic a voice of modern Britain as Larkin is - Only in the great poets is content so intimately married to form'. - Donald Davie 'Against the word as spectacle, Tomlinson opposes the concept - a very English one - of the world as event - He is fascinated - with his eyes open: a lucid fascination - by the universal busyness, the continuous generation and degeneration of things'. - Octavio Paz --Octavio Paz
'He has divided his line according to a new measure learned, perhaps, for a new world. It gives a refreshing rustle or seething to the words which bespeak the entrance of a new life'. - William Carlos Williams. --William Carlos Williams
'Tomlinson, born in 1927, is a unique voice in contemporary English poetry, and has been a satellite of excellence for the past 50 years' David Morley, Guardian. 'Few poets are as natural or as exact as Charles Tomlinson - it's as if all his experience is waiting to be trapped'. Matthew Sweeney, Observer. --Matthew Sweeney, Observer
