Synopsis

This volume brings back into print the complete poems of Veronica Forrest-Thomson (1947-1975), whose work remains a touchstone for those interested in radical British poetry in the 1970s. The book contains all of her published collections, plus poems that remained in manuscript, and also contains work that has come to light since the publication of the Collected Poems and Translations (1990) as well as a number of corrections to that edition.
