W. S. Graham: Speaking Towards You

The collection of essays in this title covers all aspects of Graham’s work - its critical reception, influence and its relations with other developments in the arts, in particular the work of the St Ives School of visual artists. It includes some biographical material (brief reminiscences by and interviews with those who knew them) and discussions of the material contained in several collections of manuscripts. This work aims to show the continuing interest of Graham to readers in several different age-groups and with differing poetic allegiances. It suggests the value and usefulness of further work, as exemplified in this new collection of critical essays.
