'There are many sorts of poems here: love poems, family poems, farm poems, metaphysical poems, his ancient-grave poems, the medieval-modern outcasting king poems his Sweeniad … It's good to find fully represented the ones which tell you there is a civil war going on, which tell you about a divided community.' Karl Miller, Observer
