註釋A celebration of the life and work of poet George Bruce, with over 250 poems reflecting the changing personal and social experiences of the poet from childhood during World War I, up to the present day. The collection brings together poems published in collections since 1933, and includes uncollected poems previous to Sea Talk (1944) and new material following the publication of Pursuit (1999). This book reveals the impressive scope and development of Bruce's poetry. Taking in his earlier works and their concern with the constancy of the land, the enduring qualities of its inhabitants, and a poetry which stands for good humane values, the collection progresses to present day, exploring Bruce's interests in art and Haiku. As the years progress, this individual voice is increasingly lyrical and perceptive, and yet never loses touch with the facts of life. The new uncollected poems in this volume, written over the last two years, show a zest and breadth of vision which add to an on-going body of work, and to the poet's existing, considerable achievements.
