This is a timely and important selection of this remarkable poet's finest work.

'It's plain that Gascoyne's oeuvre is ripe for reappraisal: Enitharmon's Selected is a timely publication.' Kevin Johnson, Poetry Review'Anybody concerned to read one of the best, though least trumpeted, living poets should have this on their bookshelves.' Alan Brownjohn, The Sunday Times

David Gascoyne's death in November 2001 was marked by the lead obituaries in all the British broadsheets as well as in Le Monde. As a poet and translator he had been internationally renowned since the 1930s. He was the first chronicler in English of the Surrealist movement, and an essayist and reviewer of dazzling range. His association with Enitharmon dates back to 1970 and in the past decade there have been eight publications which will be a lasting testament of his importance.
