He is a former Oxford Professor of Poetry. In his first year at university, Fenton won the Newdigate Prize for his sonnet sequence "Our Western Furniture". Later published by Fuller's Sycamore Press, it largely concerns the cultural collision in the 19th century between the United States and Japan. It displays in embryo many of the characteristics that define Fenton's later work: technical mastery combined with a fascination with issues that arise from the Western interaction with other cultures. "Our Western Furniture" was followed by "Exempla", a poetry sequence later published in "The Memory of War". The poem is notable for its frequent use of unfamiliar words, as well as commonplace words employed in an unfamiliar manner. While studying at Oxford, Fenton became a close friend of Christopher Hitchens, who praised Fenton's extraordinary talent, stating that he believed him to be the greatest poet of his generation. His first collection, "Terminal Moraine" (1972) won a Gregory Award. With the proceeds he traveled to East Asia, where he wrote of the U.S. withdrawal from Vietnam and the end of the Lon Nol regime in Cambodia, which presaged the rise of Pol Pot. The poems featured in his collection "The Memory of War" (1982) ensured his reputation as one of the greatest war poets of his time. (Wiki) *** 'Former Vietnam war reporter and correspondent for the Independent in South-East Asia, Fenton is a traveller-poet in the tradition of W.H. Auden, the poet to whom he is most frequently compared.' ***'"Out of Danger" is James Fenton's eagerly awaited new collection of poetry, the first to appear since his acclaimed "The Memory of War and Children in Exile" a decade ago'. ***'Each poem conjures a world, and all of them bear out the opinion of Peter Porter, writing in The Observer, who called Fenton "the most talented poet of his generation"'. (Quotes taken from the back cover) ***First impression of this poetry collection by James Fenton, in near fine condition. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.…
