A lively and versatile poet, Duncan Forbes can deal in modes both comic and elegiac with life's events. With his eye for detail and strong understanding of traditions, he approaches the enduring themes of poetry in fresh and contemporary ways. His prize-winning poems have featured in numerous anthologies and have been broadcast on radio here and in the USA. This selection provides a welcome introduction to the range of his work. His poems have been widely published and have won him a growing readership as well as a Gregory Award, the A.V. Bowen Lyric Poem Prize, the TLS/Blackwells Prize and a Stephen Spender Prize for poetry in translation. The poems here are drawn from five collections and span nearly forty years.
