Collected Poems, 1987
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.

Fair of Speech
16 essays that reveal the behaviour, beliefs and fears that prompt us to circumlocate some of the more basic facts of life.
The Oxford Book of Death
The inescapable reality of death has given rise to much of literature's most profound and moving work. D. J. Enright's wonderfully eclectic selection presents the words of poet and novelist, scientist and philosopher, mystic and sceptic. And alongside these 'professional' writers, he allows the voices of ordinary people to be heard; for this is a subject on which there are no real experts and wisdom lies in many unexpected places.
The Oxford Book of the Supernatural
The supernatural has this in common with nature: you may drive it out with a pitchfork, but it will constantly come running back. At a time when science and technology are proving ambivalent in their effects and institutionalized religion is weakened by self-inflicted wounds, interest in its manifestations is insatiable. This sweeping anthology presents material in which, touchingly, eerily or bizarrely, the supernatural and the natural meet and ignite, illuminating our deepest anxieties, frailties, and hopes. While chiefly concerned with specific instances, it gives due weight to the views of philosophers and fanatics, of men of letters and the man in the street, and of lovers and lost soul...
Collected Poems, 1948-1998
Collected Poems 1948-1998, publishing in D.J. Enright's 78th year, adds the poetry from his books published since 1987, and extends the selection of poems, particularly from his earlier works, bringing back into circulation some poems readers may have missed. This major collection culls work from fifteen of Enright's previous publications including The Laughing Hyena (1953), Addictions (1962), and Sad Ires (1975). His three most famous sequences are also reprinted here in their entirety: Terrible Shears (1973), Paradise Illustrated (1978), and A Faust Book (1979). These collected poems enable readers to see the fascinating development of this poet, from his sensuous early work set in Alexandria and Japan, to a more terse and ironic later verse.
