Dazzling in its prosodic innovations, such as the ''sprung rhythm'' he pioneered, and wide-ranging in its complexity and metaphysical interest. The Penguin Classics edition of Gerard Manley Hopkins''s Poems and Prose is selected and edited with an introduction by W.H. Gardner.Closer to Dylan Thomas than Matthew Arnold in his ''creative violence'' and insistence on the sound of poetry, Gerard Manley Hopkins was no staid, conventional Victorian. On entering the Jesuit order the age of twenty-four, he burnt all his poetry and ''resolved to write no more, as not belonging to my profession, unless by the wishes of my superiors''. The poems, letters and journal entries selected for this edition were written in the following twenty years of his life, and published posthumously in 1918. His verse is wrought from the creative tensions and paradoxes of a poet-priest who wanted to evoke the spiritual essence of nature sensuously, and to communicate this revelation in natural language and speech-rhythms while using condensed, innovative diction and all the skills of poetic artifice.Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844-89) was born in Essex, the eldest son of a prosperous middle-class family.

When Stevie Smith died in 1971 she was one of the twentieth-century''s most popular poets; many of her poems have been widely anthologised, and ''Not Waving but Drowning'' remains one of the nation''s favourite poems to this day.Satirical, mischievous, teasing, disarming, her characteristically lightning-fast changes in tone take readers from comedy to tragedy and back again, while her line drawings are by turns unsettling and beguiling. In this edition of her work, Smith scholar Will May collects together the illustrations and poems from her original published volumes for the first time, recording fascinating details about their provenance, and describing the various versions Smith presented both on stage and page. Including over 500 works from Smith''s 35-year career, The Collected Poems and Drawings of Stevie Smith is the essential edition of modern poetry''s most distinctive voice.Nobody heard him, the dead man,But still he lay moaning:I was much further out than you thoughtAnd not waving but drowning.- ''Not Waving but Drowning''

Probably best known for his macabre short stories, including THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER, and THE PIT AND THE PENDULUM, Poe''s influence was spread primarily through his poems and essays which are here reprinted.

First published in 1923, Exile and Other Poems is an important, poignant collection from one of the foremost Imagist war poets. Penned after witnessing the horrors of the frontline during the First World War, Aldington''s brutal, honest verse lays bare unimaginable experiences.The first part of the collection, ''Exile'', explores the poet''s survivor''s guilt, post-traumatic stress and sense of alienation. The collection continues with a ''Songs for Puritans'' and ''Songs for Sensualists'', pastiches of seventeenth and eighteenth-century love poetry, and a series of more personal poems exploring the natural world, from which Aldington drew reassurance.Enriched with a fascinating introduction and explanatory notes by leading Aldington scholars Elizabeth Vandiver and Vivien Whelpton, this centenary edition seeks to place Exile firmly back on the map of war poetry, from which it has been missing for too long.
