Four full collections are represented: \u003cem\u003eBirth of a Shark \u003c\/em\u003e(1963), \u003cem\u003eA Christ of the Ice-Floes\u003c\/em\u003e (1966), \u003cem\u003eFirebreak\u003c\/em\u003e (1971) and \u003cem\u003eWhere the Arrow Falls\u003c\/em\u003e (1973), although the author had already relocated from London to Austin, Texas by the time the last two were published. Added to the full collections are poems that appeared in the two anthologies, \u003cem\u003eA Group Anthology \u003c\/em\u003e(1963) and \u003cem\u003ePenguin Modern Poets 4\u003c\/em\u003e (1963, in which the author shared space with David Holbrook and Christopher Middleton, the latter a fellow Texan exile). This volume demonstrates exactly why Wevill was held in such high regard in the 1960s and 1970s. This book may be regarded as an act of restitution, bringing significant work back before the public.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eImportant for the development of his early work were Jungian theory and mid-century Spanish poetry, above all García Lorca, Neruda and Paz. As Martin Seymour-Smith observed, \"The Jungian 'search', an admittedly circular one, is Wevill's main theme, and so his poetry needs to be read in its entirety to be fully appreciated.\"\u003cbr\u003e\"Among the poets of Atlantis - those who belong to both the Old World and the New, I have always thought of David Wevill as one of the finest in our time.\" - Nathaniel Tarn\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 396\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.88 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 06, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42119847051399,"sku":"9781848618152","price":36.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/276bf8a5a7e3f7d0cfc24d9f96ddec78.webp?v=1732543635","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/collected-earlier-poems-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
