This new edition of Nissim Ezekiel's Collected Poems (OUP 1989) comes with a critical introduction reevaluating Ezeikiel's place in the modernist canon by John Thieme, and a preface by Leela Gandhi.
Reviews / Votes
Ezekiel's poetry described love, loneliness, lust, creativity and political pomposity, human foibles and the 'kindred clamour' of urban dissonance. He echoed England's postwar Movement (Philip Larkin, D. J. Enright and Ted Hughes) but honed a distinct, ironic voice, moving from strict metre to free verse. * The Guardian *More details
