Full Description
For the first time, this volume gathers together all Tobias Hill's poems from his four full-length collections in one beautiful and collectable paperback edition, introduced by Maura Dooley.
The Collected Poems marks an important moment in British poetry, drawing together Hill's work from his Eric Gregory Award-winning debut, Year of the Dog (1995), to the bestselling Nocturne in Chrome & Sunset Yellow (2006). Hill's celebrated 'urban pastoral' was decadent yet austere, driven through radical visual desire. Here in one volume we can see the extent of his imaginative journey, travelling through towns and cityscapes, presenting a simmering world of captured lives, haunting, but filled with charm and wit. The early work is dominated by Japan, where Hill lived for two years, yet it is his beloved London that becomes the imaginative centre of his work, filled with the sensuous intensity of that great city.
Tobias Hill was selected as one of the country's Next Generation poets in 2004, shortlisted for the 2004 Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year and named by the TLS as one of the best young writers in the country.
