Without Title
Praise for Geoffrey Hill’s newest collection of poems:
“Without Title, his new collection, combines the force and freedom of Hill's narrative verse with a renewed faith in his masterly talents for form and wordplay. The result is alarmingly good; a collection of lyrics on the difficulties of ageing, the problems of belief and the vagaries of language bracketing a sequence of pindarics in which Hill, ostensibly responding to thoughts of the Italian poet Cesare Pavese, meditates at length on both their lives and considers the place of a poet in the world.”—Tim Martin, Independent on Sunday
Born in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, in 1932, Geoffrey Hill is the author of eleven books of poetry. He has received numerous awards and recognition for his work, including the Hawthornden Prize, the Heinemann Award, the Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize, and Duff Cooper Memorial Prize. He currently lives and teaches in Massachusetts, where he is professor of literature and religion at Boston University.
