London Review Bookshop Poetry Book of the Year: An astonishing
scholarly undertaking, beautifully produced and sensitively annotated.
Richard Burton, author of A Strong Song Tows Us: The Life of
Basil Bunting: A fantastic achievement.
Rory Waterman, Essays in Criticism: A considerable work of scholarship... the only book of Bunting’s poetry any reader needs.
Rory Waterman, Essays in Criticism: A considerable work of scholarship... the only book of Bunting’s poetry any reader needs.
Jeremy Noel-Tod, The Sunday Times: Splendidly edited.
Paul Batchelor, The Poetry Review: A major event in the literatures of this...archipelago.
Chris
Miller, PN Review: The annotations are magisterially organized. Well done, Don Share.
Mark Hutchinson, TLS: Deft and meticulous... More than fulfills the task he has set for it... You'll have a field day exploring the notes and commentaries.
Peter Robinson, Poetry London: Don Share has provided a canonical Bunting in a thoroughly convincing and usable edition. He has done the poet, these poems, and their readers, an invaluable service.
Matthew Hollis: A rigorous, unquestionably thorough and well-presented piece of scholarship that tells us very much more than we once knew about Bunting's work and working background.
Max Porter, author of Grief is the Thing with Feathers: The
book of my dreams! What a gift to
readers.
Peter Quartermain: What an accomplishment this book is!
Steve Silberman: One of the most significant poetry books of
the last 25 years.
Devin Johnston: The editing is excellent. This volume
cleanly replaces a ragged stack on my shelf of books and photocopies, as well
as gaps and question marks. It will be an immensely useful book for me, as
Bunting's poetry is always a technical resource (as well as an active
pleasure). I'm sure it's bringing new readers to Bunting.
David Wheatley, The Literary Review: Masterfully harvested
by Don Share... Bunting has been more than lucky in his editor.
Ian Pople, Manchester Review: This collection of Bunting’s
poetry and Don Share’s meticulous editing of them will keep us reading and
re-reading the poems for a very long time.
Anthony Howell, Fortnightly Review: By including anything
and everything Bunting wrote about his poems in the annotations, we get to know
a lot about the man through Don Share's painstaking scholarship and his
discreet editing.
Emily Van Houton, Research English at Durham: Don Share has
completed more than just an unprecedented task but a greatly needed one.
Steven Waling, Write Out Loud: Is it worth the money? I
would say, every penny. Basil Bunting was one of the greatest British poets of
the 20th century.
