Description for Selected Poems
Paperback. Num Pages: 128 pages. BIC Classification: DC. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 216 x 137 x 9. Weight in Grams: 172.
This selection from the first thirty years of Donald Davie's poetry reveals an impassioned spirit advancing from Augustan reserve towards the treacherous, rewarding risks of modernism. As a critic, Helen Vendler writes, "he has drawn a map of modernism, starting with Hardy and Pound, that remains one of the definitive outlines of twentieth-century experiment in form and language. The mapmaker, in this case," she adds, "is a notable locus on the map." His poetry is an abiding source and a resource for readers and other writers."
