"Things Unsaid" is the author's own choice of poems from a writing career that spans nearly half a century. It draws on seven published collections and includes many uncollected and new poems. Tony Connor left school at fourteen and worked as a textile designer in Manchester for many years. His poems - often, as he terms it, quasi-autobiographical - combine memory, experience and imagination with firm craftsmanship. The results are remarkable for their precision, their wry humour and broad human sympathies.

Reviews for Things Unsaid
'His work is both original and entertaining... Connor does not simply report events. He vividly recreates them, shaping each scene with the skill and care of a novelist... his work remains clear-headed, intelligent and immensely readable.'Dana Gioia on 'New And Selected Poems' (1982) in The Hudson Review
