Roy Fisher's definitive retrospective collection, marking his 75th birthday. It draws on the entire range of his work, from its fraught beginnings in the 1950s through major texts of the 1960s and 1970s such as "City", "The Ship's Orchestra" and 'Wonders of Obligation' to "A Furnace", his 1980s masterpiece. A Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature since 2005, Fisher has received the Andrew Kelus Poetry Prize, the Cholmondeley Award, and the Hamlyn Award. "Britain's greatest living poet." –Ian McMillan
