Harrison, T: Collected Poems
Autor Tony Harrisonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 apr 2016
His poetic range is truly far-reaching, from the intimate tenderness of family life and personal love, to war poems written from Bosnia and savage public outcries against politicians. In The Collected Poems, Harrison draws deeply both on classical tradition and on the vernacular of the street. Combining the private and the public in a way Harrison has made distinctly his own, and drawing on his working-class upbringing in Leeds, these are powerful poems for modern times.
This is the first complete paperback collection of one of Britain's most controversial and critically acclaimed poets.
'Tony Harrison is the greatest poet of the second half of the 20th century. . . He writes brilliantly about class, love and Britain' Daniel Radcliffe
'Harrison is a masterly technician, and the most fiery and indelible English poet of the age. This book is a vineyard on a volcano' Paul Farley

Recenzii
Brilliant, passionate, outrageous, abrasive, but also, as in the family sonnets, immeasurably tender
Harrison is a masterly technician, and the most fiery and indelible English poet of the age. This book is a vineyard on a volcano
Tony Harrison changed the entire landscape of British poetry
Slangy, rooted, erudite, rhythmic, Harrison is a titan among poets; a unique Yorkshire brew of Auden, Byron, Brecht and Kipling, with a slug of Roman satire
A pessimist with a relish for life . . . whose work insists that it is speech rather than page-bound silence
Tony Harrison writes in a style I have all my life been waiting for; combining the uninhibitedly vernacular with a line as taut and astringent as Racine's
The poem "v." is the most outstanding social poem of the last twenty-five years. Seldom has a British poem of such personal intensity had such universal range
The war poems are important and moving, obviously, but his personal writing made me wipe away surreptitious tears
Tony Harrison is a superbly accessible and talented poet
Whatever note Harrison strikes, be it melancholy regret or boisterous high spirits, the youthful energy to be found in his verse marks him out as a towering figure in poetry
Scatological satire suits him as much as political wit or meditation. World-wide in its topography, powerful in its effects . . . stunning!
One of the few truly great poets writing in English. His range is exhilarating, his clarity and technical mastery a sharp pleasure
Some of the most important poems of the present day
More than any other English poet I have read in recent years, Harrison makes good Camus' claim that the function of art is 'to open the prisons and give a voice to the sorrows and joys of all
