Collected Poems: Leslie Norris

Recently retired from his position as Christiansen Professor of Poetry at Brigham Young University, this landmark volume contains all of Norris' seven previous books and testifies to a body of work of a quality and extent seldom matched in post-war British poetry. Individual, lyrical, charming, he is a nature poet and elegist of passion and rare expression. His poems are closely observed, each word weighed and in its correct place, their rich visual quality underlaid by a metaphysical element which reminds one of the best of Thomas Hardy. This collection also includes some new poems as well as translations from the Welsh.
