Driven by ‘a remarkable energy’ (\u003ci\u003eTimes Literary Supplement\u003c\/i\u003e), he published four further collections over two decades, two with Faber and one each with Dedalus Press and CB editions. His poetry has been described by William Boyd as ‘limpid, very subtle and marvellously wise’. Introducing the present selection, made by the poet’s elder daughter, Christopher Reid writes: ‘It summarises a body of work which is possibly unique in its late timing, but remarkable for much more than that. I hope it will help to give Fergus Allen the prominence he deserves.’\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41810426232929,"sku":"9780957326668","price":10.37,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_31963205.jpg?v=1740577465","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780957326668-fergus-allen-new-selected-poems","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
