* A full and varied selection from his life’s work by an award-winning poet (recipient of a PBS Recommendation and an Eric Gregory Award) * Includes 30 new poems and makes available poems from out-of-print collections, all freshly presented in an experimental arrangement * Themes of nature, the human life cycle, and history, affected by his roles as a parent and librettist (his concert libretto for The Plumber’s Gift was staged by English National Opera) * Strong links with the University of Southampton and the University of York
'[Birtwhistle's] work is consistently both shaped and calm, and energised by the various tides it travels.' - Carol Rumens
