Collected poems, 1987

Plot

D.J. Enright needs little introduction as one of the finest poets writing today. He "is a major poet who quietly but insistently reminds us that civilization still matters"(The Times, London). Collected Poems 1987 replaces Enright's earlier collection and represents all the work the poet wishes to retain.This volume includes three verse sequences in full, The Terrible Shears (1973), Paradise Illustrated (1978) and A Faust Book (1979), to which is now added the most recent, Instant Chronicles (1985). A substantial group of recent poems brings the volume up to date.
