Collected Poems, 1964-2004
Poetry. This COLLECTED POEMS brings between a single set of covers all the work that the author wishes to preserve and also includes some recent unpublished work, which shows that his talent remains undimmed. The book covers 40 years of Lee Harwood's writing, and demonstrates a consistency in the author's fusing of a peculiarly English sensibility with more international styles of writing than have been the norm in recent times in the UK.
New Collected Poems
From Lee Harwood's earliest pamphlet to his final collection in 2014, New Collected Poems assembles all the poems that the author published in pamphlet or book form, in broadly chronological order.
Lee Harwood
To accompany Lee Harwood's new Selected Poems, we offer also this book-length collection of interviews with Harwood by his long-time friend and admirer, Kelvin Corcoran - himself also a Shearsman author. An invaluable opportunity to "hear" Harwood talking about poetry and about his own work.
Orchid Boat
The Orchid Boat is a weave of stories: some personal, some historical, some real, some imaginary. Often these may co-exist in a poem just as they do in one's everyday mind, as a collage mirroring our own perception of the world. It is a mix that can include Alexandria or China or Brighton or North Wales. These interwoven stories insist on the acceptance of contradictions and complexity in people and in life; a recognition characteristic of Harwood's poetry and shaped by his acknowledged influences: Gide, de Montherlant and Cavafy, John Ashbery and Frank O'Hara. In Harwood's poems the richest material and tone is found in 'the ordinary', and in The Orchid Boat this focus is thrown into even greater relief as he explores the power and weight of memories.
The Salt Companion to Lee Harwood
This is the first book to offer a comprehensive overview of the work of important British poet Lee Harwood, from his earliest writing as a follower of French Surrealism and New York poetry, when he was a leading light of the 'Underground' poetry of the 1960s, through to his long work The Long Black Veil and his major work since. It examines his work in terms of influence, poetics, gender, sexuality, eco-politics, as well as evidence of the spatial turn in contemporary culture. It also assesses his work in prose. The writers are drawn from a wide-range of literary backgrounds and approaches, but the editor draws these together in his introduction, which is followed by his own account of the story of Harwood's development, as well as the text of an unpublished interview with him. The book contains a useful bibliography of Harwood's work.More generally, it demonstrates how various schools of criticism may be used to illumine a single topic, and how these may be compared. The writers include some of the major critics of British alternative poetry as well as some newcomers who offer a fresh view of this much-loved work.
