Virginia Woolf turned to her diary as to an intimate friend, to whom she could freely & spontaneously confide her thoughts on public events or the joys & trials of domestic life. Between 1st January 1915 & her death in 1941 she regularly recorded her thoughts with unfailing grace, courage, honesty & wit. The result is one of the greatest diaries in the English language. ...

Celebrated for his lyrical intensity, his metaphysical wit, his thematic & formal range, Michael Longley is widely regarded as one of the finest poets in these islands. His life in Northern Ireland has contributed to the complexity of a poetic universe in which love, friendship & aesthetics contend with war, death & violance. There are no hard boundaries between Longley's love poetry, his nature poetry, his war poetry & his elegies. Longley looks to the poets of Greece & Rome, particularly Homer & Ovid, & to the poets of the two world wars. His great ability, perhaps, has been to distil the large & difficult themes into highly concentrated forms.

This is Michael Longley's own selection from thirty years of writing; it reveals the strength & coherence of an extraordinary body of work.

Representing the best of ten books & twenty years' work, Matthew Sweeney's Selected Poems is a magical mystery tour into his strange, unsettling world. Readers familiar with his poetry will be used to being led astray by his cordial, confiding wit, ambushed by his sinister twists, taken in by his intimate, untrustworthy narrators. Those who are coming to the work for the first time may feel a measure of alarm & disquiet at the way the poems shift
- almost without your noticing
- from a fireside chat to a tale of terror, from the commonplace to the hallucinatory, from the surprisingly real to the really surprising. These are the secret, spiky narratives from the arch story-teller, the mixer of hilarity & menace, the past-master of fractured realism. The world would be a poorer place without these oblique but oddly lucid poems from Matthew Sweeney's haunted imagination.

Michael Ondaatje has called Sharon Olds's poetry 'pure fire in the hands' & cheered the 'roughness & humour & brag & tenderness & completion in her work as she carries the reader through rooms of passion & loss'. This rich selection
- made by the author
- exhibits those qualities in poem after poem, reflecting, moreover, an exciting experimentation with rhythm & language & a movement toward an embrace beyond the personal. Subjects are revisited
- the pain of childhood, adolescent sexual stirrings, the fulfilment of marriage, the wonder of children
- but each re-casting penetrates ever more deeply, enriched by new perceptions & conceits.

A powerful distillation of the best work from one of America's most gifted & widely read poets, drawn from her seven published volumes, this is a testament to a remarkable writer's depth, range & continuing development.
