Praise for Geoffrey Hill’s newest collection of poems: "Without Title, his new collection, combines the force and freedom of Hill's narrative verse with a renewed faith in his masterly talents for form and wordplay. The result is alarmingly good; a collection of lyrics on the difficulties of ageing, the problems of belief and the vagaries of language bracketing a sequence of pindarics in which Hill, ostensibly responding to thoughts of the Italian poet Cesare Pavese, meditates at length on both their lives and considers the place of a poet in the world.”--Tim Martin, Independent on Sunday Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

Someone there has made a chalk drawing
of the common man. In history-time
he came and went so patient he was blind,
blinded, even, a tommy on Somme duckboards;
and his patience was brought against him,
a servitude or an indictment.
If what I grope for lies above the mud-lid
we shall at some point grasp his calvary.
Other than the story this tells nothing--
If nothing else, it makes me want to read Pavese.
Another favorite stanza from a poem i.m. Ken Smith:
Delete delenda est--exemplary
Carthage her rubbed-in wounds.
Not everything's a joke but we've been had.
The last line should be this century's motto. ( )
