Description

Ken Smith was a major voice in world poetry, his work and example inspiring a whole generation of younger British poets.

He collected his poetry from four decades in two volumes, the second being Shed: Poems 1980-2001, published the year before his untimely death in 2003.

You Again includes all his last poems as well as other uncollected work, along with tributes from other poets, photographs, a biographical portrait and interviews covering the whole range of his life and work.

Ken Smith's poetry shifted territory with time, from rural Yorkshire, America and London to the war-ravaged Balkans and Eastern Europe (before and after Communism).

His early books span a transition from a preoccupation with land and myth to his later engagement with urban Britain and the politics of radical disaffection.
