He has lived in Burma and in Spain but has made his home in Austin, Texas for the past fifty years. While resident in England in the 1950s and '60s, he established a substantial reputation as a poet, publishing four volumes between 1964 and 1973. He won prizes, was represented in major anthologies such as \u003cem\u003eThe New Poetry\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eA Group Anthology\u003c\/em\u003e, and was included in the renowned \u003cem\u003ePenguin Modern Poets\u003c\/em\u003e series before his first full collection appeared. All of his poetry has now been gathered in two volumes of \u003cem\u003eCollected Poems \u003c\/em\u003ethat are published simultaneously with this book. \u003c\/p\u003eIn the late '60s he moved across the Atlantic to take up a position in Austin, Texas, and then joined the University of Texas there in 1970, where he remained until retirement as Professor Emeritus in 2008. He still lives in Austin today. His work slowly fell from view in Britain after the publication of 1974's \u003cem\u003eWhere the Arrow Falls\u003c\/em\u003e, although a number of poetry collections continued to appear in his native Canada. \u003cbr\u003eDavid Wevill's translations have only been gathered on one previous occasion, in the USA. In this volume we present all of his versions of Pessoa, Lacerda, Baudelaire, San Juan de la Cruz and Pindar and in due course will issue a matching volume devoted entirely to his translations of Ferenc Juhász, the great Hungarian poet, which were originally published in the seminal Penguin Modern European Poets series.\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 90\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.22 x 8.5 x 5.5 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":42119847772295,"sku":"9781848618336","price":20.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/a1e0326b74f83fc0b9d224997d7b8d69.webp?v=1732543639","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/translations-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
