The Harper

Peter Redgrove (1932–2003)—a friend and contemporary of Ted Hughes and Sylvia Plath—became one of the most celebrated and prolific post-war poets. This collection gathers together his last poems and is still charged with characteristic energy, eroticism, and transforming imagination. Redgrove’s language thrills with thunder, rain, and electricity, the air heavy with perfumes and balsams, wasps, and spiders. Peter Redgrove made us look at our world with fresh eyes, and he changed our perception forever.
