Late Poems

<p>This posthumous collection by Gavin Selerie brings together all the uncollected poems from the last phase of his life - fewer than might have expected perhaps as he was also busy in the final part of his life with the composition of a memoir of his visit to the USA in the late 1960s. That memoir <em>Edges of Memory</em> will be published in due course.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>As Robert Hampson's obituary details Gavin's work tended towards long forms based on extensive research although shorter works did crop up throughout his life as evidenced by the large volume of <em>Collected Sonnets</em> (Shearsman Books 2019). These last poetic forays are shorter poems although inevitably they also include a long-ish sequence centred on the author's favourite London haunt of Cricklewood.</p><p><br></p>
