Winner of the Booker Prize Graham Swift's poems published as a collection for the first time.
Distilling the themes that have absorbed him across a 50-year career as a published writer, Poems of Fifty Years encapsulates what has made the author of Waterland, Last Orders and Mothering Sunday one of our greatest and most beloved writers.
One of the subjects of the poems is undoubtedly time, and time is, undoubtedly, one of the subjects of my fiction. Fifty years is quite a serious chunk of time, and I hope this book of poems will stand the test of time, along with all my other books.
Best known as a writer of fiction, Graham Swift's novels have received accolades and awards for over half a century. As well as being one of our greatest novelists, Swift is also a masterful poet. Now, for the first time, a selection of his poems has been collected in a single volume to celebrate his 50 years as a published writer. Like his prose, his poetry is deft, humane and understatedly powerful - a true testament to a lifetime spent in pursuit of literary excellence.
