Product Overview
Grahams work was published by T. S. Eliot in the 1940s and 50s, but as a major post-war poet, his work has received astonishingly little critical attention given its prestige and influence. This collection of essays covers all aspects of Grahams work its critical reception, recent influence and its relations with other developments in the arts, in particular the work of the St Ives School of visual artists. It includes some biographical material (brief reminiscences by and interviews with those who knew him) and discussions of the material contained in several collections of manuscripts. Nothing so far published has paid attention to these manuscript collections or to the large number of uncollected poems published since his death. Neither has enough been written about Grahams importance to poets of the 1980s and 1990s.
The ten essays in this book are all extremely competent studies of Grahams work [...] constantly aware of the subtleties of Grahams very individual attitudes to his art. The book will make an excellent companion for many readers and students. PNReview
