Summary

This first volume of Selected Writings by Richard Berengarten consists of longer poems written between 1965 and 2000, in Greece, Italy, England and Yugoslavia. While some poems have their focal points in a recognisably English landscape and consciousness, there is no insular limitation on the matter.

For the Living Summary

For the Living: v. 1: Selected Writings by Richard Berengarten

ichard Berengarten has made the long poem and the sequence his forte, and many of these poems have received international acclaim. Through his choice of themes and motifs, and his affirmation of psyche, eros and hope, he writes in the tradition of George Seferis and Octavio Paz. This selection (1965-2000) includes 'Avebury', 'Angels', 'Tree', 'Against the Day', 'Croft Woods', and the widely acclaimed sequence 'Black Light'.

In the 1970s, he founded and ran the (now almost legendary) international Cambridge Poetry Festival. His work has been translated into 18 languages.
