Description for Collected Poems
Paperback. The collected work of a major poet including previously unpublished poems Num Pages: 272 pages. BIC Classification: DCF. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 197 x 157 x 27. Weight in Grams: 430.
The death of Michael Donaghy in 2004 at the age of fifty robbed poetry of one of its best-loved and most naturally gifted practitioners. A modern metaphysical, Donaghy wrote poetry of great wisdom, grace, charm, erudition and consummate technical accomplishment. This book gathers together all of Donaghy's mature poetry, and includes the full texts of his four published volumes, as well as a number of fine uncollected pieces. As the poet-critic Sean O'Brien has remarked, Donaghy will come to be seen as one of the representative poets of the age.
