The Tenth Muse (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781857548365)

In this illuminating anthology of British poets, verses from some of the biggest names of the 20th century have been selected by people uncommonly familiar with their lives and work: their families. Husbands, wives, sons, and daughters were called on to choose works by the poets--George Barker, Thomas Blackburn, Lawrence Durrell, David Gascoyne, W.S. Graham, Robert Graves, Harold Pinter, Anne Ridler, C.H. Sisson, Elizabeth Smart, Dylan Thomas, Edward Thomas, and David Wright. Offering the close personal insight that only families have into the lives of their well-known loved ones, this volume presents a side of 13 famous poets that few people ever get to see.
