Selected Poems, 1976-96 (Oxford Poets S.)
Low stock: 1 left
This collection, selected by George Szirtes himself from a period of at least twenty years, has been culled from all seven of his published poetry books, several of which are now unavailable. His three major sequences of poems, "The Photographer in Winter," "Metro," and a slightly revised "Transylvana," are included in full. Szirtes has built a reputation not only as an energetic, generous, and skillfull translator from Hungarian, but above all as a brilliant and austere poet in his own right. He wields English with the particular skill, strangeness, and originality of one who mediates between the tone of his forebears and the voice he has acquired since childhood, when his family moved to England at the time of the Hungarian uprising.

- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or price price written in pencil or shop sticker.

Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.
