Selected Poems - Softcover

'A poet capable of looking at intense feelings through a splendidly literate quizzing-glass of wit' - Robert Nye, The Times'Howell is a constantly rewarding read. Always entertaining and thought-provoking, he can also engage the emotions. Warmly recommended.' - Glyn Pursglove, New Welsh Review

Anthony Howell's choice from his five previous books displays a poet of great variety and accomplishment. From playful short poems to extended narratives, whether in free verse or traditional forms, his skill enlivens his subjects and offers surprise and delight. His poetry has appealed to readers as diverse as John Ashbery ('curiously strong') and Peter Porter ('Howell has style to spare and is happily unclassifiable').
