{"product_id":"collected-poems","title":"Collected Poems","description":"Tony Harrison published his first pamphlet of poems in 1964 and for over fifty years has been a prominent force in modern poetry. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHis poetic range is truly far-reaching, from the intimate tenderness of family life and personal love, to war poems written from Bosnia and savage public outcries against politicians. In \u003ci\u003eThe Collected Poems, \u003c\/i\u003eHarrison draws deeply both on classical tradition and on the vernacular of the street. Combining the private and the public in a way Harrison has made distinctly his own, and drawing on his working-class upbringing in Leeds, these are powerful poems for modern times.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the first complete paperback collection of one of Britain''s most controversial and critically acclaimed poets.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e''Tony Harrison is the greatest poet of the second half of the 20th century. . .
