Description
With Signs Following, David Ricks's first full collection, brings together poems and translations written over the last three decades. - 'It seems astonishing that this is David Ricks's first full-length collection of poems, but then he has been in no haste, writing and polishing and storing up these gems over decades, even as he has laboured more publicly as a scholar of modern Greek literature. The result is a debut worth waiting for: formally adept, beautifully achieved poems that exist outside of the fluctuations of fashion, unabashedly serious, learned, and well crafted.' - from the afterword by A. E. Stallings
