Recenzii

Vivid clarity ... intense lyric beauty. This is work of the first importance.
The scale and consistency of this volume, meticulously edited by Kenneth Haynes, and handsomely, if rather minutely, set out, with plenty of white space around poems and a jacket bearing an image from Kokoschka, give it a monumental air ... At the vital, latter end of the book there are huge achievements and intricate exercises, experimental in their rigour. Hill's scraggy apple tree is indeed an emblem of his stupendous late-spring flowering.
Broken Hierarchies possesses a magisterial intellectual sweep and sense of literary high ambition which is perhaps unique in contemporary English poetry.
Hill has for 40-odd years kept his language as close-textured, tough, knotted and lyrical as poetry can be. If he makes old Eliot seem by comparison an easy read it is not for mere show; these poems are as beautiful, hard, compressed and granular as the rocks and stones and trees from which they are made.
If the phrase "greatest living poet in the English language" has any meaning, then we should use it to describe Hill.
He can rival the best.
our greatest post-war poet ... Now arrives the summation of his life's work: Broken Hierarchies: Poems 1952-2012.
The one certain genius now at work in the English Language.
Anyone who reads Broken Hierarchies through will recognise that Hill is seriously good, and that he probably belongs among the great.
The greatest living English poet.
By far the most distinguished exponent of his calling yet alive.
Just a thousand pages of verse from perhaps our greatest living poet.
Our greatest living poet is a reminder to those in public life of the energy of intelligence created by the writing and criticism of poetry.
Recommended Summer Reading: Astonishing
These volumes include some of the finest, most astringent verse of the twentieth century ... nearly impeccable.
Having spent much of 2014 savoring Geoffrey Hill's colossal Broken Hierarchies: Poems 1952-2012, I've come to accept that any review of it will falter as piecemeal commentary in the shadow of its achievement ... the cumulative brilliance and range of Hill's oeuvre make him unquestionably England's greatest living poet.
