Peter Redgrove, who died in 2003, was one of the most prolific of post-war poets and, as this
Collected Poems reveals, one of the finest. A friend and contemporary of Ted Hughes and Sylvia Plath in the early 1950s, Redgrove was regarded by many as their equal, and his work has been championed by a wide variety of writers, from Margaret Drabble to Colin Wilson, Douglas Dunn to Seamus Heaney. Ted Hughes once wrote warmly to Redgrove of "how important you've been to me. You've no idea how much—right from the first time we met." In this first
Collected Poems, Neil Roberts has gathered together the best poems from 26 volumes of verse—from
The Collector (1959) to the three books published posthumously. The result is an unearthed treasure trove—poems that find new and thrilling ways of celebrating the natural world and the human condition, poems that dazzle with their visual imagination, poems that show the huge range and depth of the poet's art. In Redgrove's poetry there is a unique melding of the erotic, the terrifying, the playful, the strange, and the strangely familiar; his originality and energy is unparalleled in our time and his work was the work of a true visionary.
