When C.H. Sisson was 20, he gave up writing poems. He began once more in his 30s under the stress of war-time, stationed in India. Verse came intermittently, exiguously; the bulk of his early writing in translation, prose essays, and fiction. One of the few direct English heirs of the great Modernists, Sisson is a poet who grounds the enormous energies of that movement in English landscapes—especially those of Somerset—and reconciles the legacies of Eliot and Pound on the one hand and of Hardy and Edward Thomas on the other. This updated volume updates and corrects the poet's previous works and demonstrates his confidence vis a vis the poetic genre.
