Synopsis

This is the third, and projected to be the final, volume of Reality Street's edition of Bill Griffiths' Collected Poems, which began with Collected Earlier Poems (1966-80) in 2010 and continued in Collected Poems & Sequences (1981-91) in 2014. The sequence spans 30 years and more than 1,200 pages of Griffiths' poetry, most of which had previously only existed in now unobtainable small press productions. From 1996 until his death just over ten years later his poetry was collected in commercial or semi-commercial editions which are still in print or easily obtainable. The present volume, while covering only five years, during which he was settled in Seaham, County Durham, presents a period of his work which even by his own standards was remarkably prolific and exuberant.
