| Synopsis: |
Hunts: Poems 1979-2009 gathers together highlights from JohnGreening's eleven books along with about sixty new or uncollectedpoems. At its heart is the poet's extraordinary Huntingdonshiretrilogy, but the 'hunts' of the title range from Ancient Egypt to NewJersey, from Hounslow Heath to the South Pole. This collection -quite different in emphasis from his 1998 'Selected' and excludingonly Iceland Spar (2008) - restores many out-of-print sequences andnarratives, such as the Captain Scott epic, The Winter Journey, andGascoigne's Egg, about the R101 airship disaster. Omm Sety, the truestory of an Englishwoman who believed she was the reincarnated loverof Pharaoh Sety I, appears alongside extracts from all Greening'sEgyptian books. Hunts also reprints The Coastal Path, which TedHughes and Seamus Heaney made a top prize-winner in the Arvon/Observer competition, together with the complete Fotheringhay, another Arvon prize-winner |
