Poetry. This collection brings together many of the finest of Bill Griffiths' longer poems, including two quite new sequences, "A Tour of the Fairground" and "The Violinist." Topics range from urban incarceration to rural Hungary. The width of focus is deliberate: as Griffiths puts it, "There is no such thing as English poetry, only poetry in English."
