Tony Harrison is one of our most exciting and cosmopolitan as well as technically accomplished poets. He has been awarded a number of prizes for his poetry, including the Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize, the Royal Television Society Award, the Prix Italia, and the Whitbread Prize for Poetry.Published to celebrate the poet's sixtieth birthday, this new study gives Harrison's work the serious critical attention it merits, with essays from a number of prominent contributors, including Richard Eyre and Melvyn Bragg, and a foreword by Grey Gowrie. The collection ranges from personal recollections of working with Tony Harrison and personal responses to his poems, to detailed critical analyses of his techniques and themes, covering Harrison's short poems and sonnet sequence, his plays,his television poem-films, and his libretti, spanning the years 1955-1997.
