Departures: Selected Poems (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781848612976)

This 150-page collection covers the entire poetic career of David Wevill, who has faded from view as a poet in the UK since his departure for the United States in the early 1970s. His first four collections won many prizes and gained him a reputation as one of the finest poets of his generation, as well as a place in all the major anthologies of the period and in the seminal Penguin Modern Poets series. His subsequent collections, with the exception of a 2010 retrospective volume in the USA, were all published in the author's native Canada and have been difficult to obtain either in the UK. David Wevill lives in Austin, Texas. This second edition of Departures is in a larger format, and with larger type than the first edition.
