Overview

A sampler of poems published by the Greville Press, this diverse compilation celebrates the remarkable venture that is this unique small press. With poems composed during a span of a couple of millennia, this collection champions translations of great world poets as well as delights in the classics of English literature. Featured writers include George Barker, Charles Baudelaire, John Clare, Hart Crane, W. S. Graham, John Masefield, Elizabeth Smart, and Stevie Smith.

Reviews

"That the Greville Press should simultaneously publish a first collection by Kate Ellis, a sixteen-year-old schoolgirl from Derby, and the first translations of the poems of Arseny Tarkovsky, father of the filmmaker Andrey Tarkovsky, is typical of the small firm's exhilarating eclecticism."  —Independent
