Collected Poems, 1955-1975 – Peter Levi (Paperback / Soft Cover)

Peter Levi, who died in 2000, was elected Professor of Poetry at Oxford University in 1984. Until 1977 he was a Jesuit priest. He was a classicist whose writing includes three uncategorizable books – on modern Greece, Afghanistan, and the English landscape – as well as translations, critical and scholarly works, and a thriller. But he was first and foremost a poet. This volume brings together his early books, pamphlets and other uncollected poems written over a period of twenty years to 1975. His subsequent books of poetry are:”Five Ages”(1978),”Private Ground”(1981),”The Echoing Green”(1983),”The Lamentation of the Dead”(1984),”The Noise Made by Poems”(1984),”Shakespeare’s Birthday”(1985),”Goodbye to the Art of Poetry”(1989),”Shadow and Bone”(1989),”The Rags of Time”(1994),”Reed Music”(1997) and”Viriditas”(2001).
