Selected Poems

This is a new and essential selection from the range and bulk of Robert Graves' poetry, edited by Ulster poet Michael Longley. This edition will restore Graves to view as a major twentieth century poet, and demonstrate his manifold achievement as war poet, as love poet, and as - in the round - a secular visionary whose poems are "inimitable, eccentric marvels - some of which are extraordinary, many are masterly, all are like nothing else ever written" (Randall Jarrell).
