Book Description Softcover. Condition: New. First Edition. Gavin Ewart, one of Britains finest and most original poets, is presented here in a half-century retrospective. His subjects various and his approach toothsomely scathing, he believes: good light verse is better than bad heavy verse any day of the week. Consider one of his briefest poems, The Lover Reflects: Afterwards - Perhaps I was greedy. I know I should be grateful/You wanted a snack and I wanted a plateful. An inventive technical master (creator of the Ewart form), he stalks his favorite prey--hypocrisy, loves foibles, the pseuds--with a razor-sharp wit. There is iron in irony, although you smile, he writes in one poem: I have my language, you have yours/ a lower-archy is a hierarchy viewed from above. Seller Inventory # DADAX0811210553
