Synopsis
This is Michael Longley's own selection from thirty years of writing. It reveals the strength and coherence of an extraordinary body of work, which has been celebrated--in Britain and Ireland, but also in the United States--for its lyric intensity, metaphysical wit, and thematic and formal range. Includes selections from No Continuing City (1969), An Exploded View (1973), Man Lying on a Wall (1976), The Echo Gate (1979), New Poems, Gorse Fires (1991), and The Ghost Orchid (1995).

Review
"His work indicates one of the gifts of the major poet, of making the one life speak for all, and its corollary, of seeming to be able to speak to anyone." (Sean O'Brien)
"Michael Longley's affectionate metre, his clean-cut and lucid measure, is one of the most distinguished accomplishments in contemporary poetry." (Douglas Dunn)
"A keeper of the artistic estate, a custodian of grief and wonders." (Seamus Heaney)
