Download or read book Collected Poems written by Peter Redgrove and published by Random House. This book was released on 2012-01-31 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peter Redgrove, who died in 2003, was one of the most prolific of post-war poets and, as this Collected Poems reveals, one of the finest. A friend and contemporary of Ted Hughes and Sylvia Plath in the early 1950s, Redgrove was regarded by many as their equal, and his work has been championed by a wide variety of writers - from Margaret Drabble to Colin Wilson, Douglas Dunn to Seamus Heaney. Ted Hughes once wrote warmly to Redgrove of 'how important you've been to me. You've no idea how much - right from the first time we met.' In this first Collected Poems, Neil Roberts has gathered together the best poems from twenty-six volumes of verse - from The Collector (1959) to the three books published posthumously. The result is an unearthed treasure trove - poems that find new and thrilling ways of celebrating the natural world and the human condition, poems that dazzle with their visual imagination, poems that show the huge range and depth of the poet's art. In Redgrove's poetry there is a unique melding of the erotic, the terrifying, the playful, the strange, and the strangely familiar; his originality and energy is unparalleled in our time and his work was the work of a true visionary.

Book excerpt: Peter Redgrove lives on Lyrical Energy Street, with hermaphrodites and wizards, Jekyll and Hyde, the transparent man, the Dean of Witches and Mistress Shivers among his neighbours. It is a place rained on by paradise storms, where the senses reign and one may shift shape at will. In this book's mysterious pages we visit the Butterfly Museum, drink from ancient wells, listen to the Other Orchestra, discover magic mirrors, holy chambers, and explore the labyrinths of the human spirit and mind. Whether evoking sexual ecstasy, discussing a theology of sensuality around the dinner table, or giving voice to some primal hymn, Peter Redgrove is one of our finest and most original poets.

Download or read book A Lucid Dreamer written by Dr Neil Roberts and published by Random House. This book was released on 2012-01-05 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The work of the poet Peter Redgrove is one of the great unexplored treasures of late twentieth century literature. His prolific output presents an intriguing variety of personae: magician, scientist, lover, psychologist, joker, madman. It is only now, with the publication of his Collected Poems and this biography, that we can see how and why these personae developed - and discover the full depth and range of this visionary writer. Born into an apparently conventional middle-class family that was in reality deeply disturbed, the poet finally emerged: transforming himself from the neurotic, Oedipal young scientist, through a process of mental breakdown, insulin coma therapy, erotic revelation and the discovery of poetic companionship at Cambridge - and particularly his friendship and rivalry with Ted Hughes. Neil Roberts explores the inner story of this emergence, and Redgrove's later development through marriage, family life, the fellowship of the 'Group', alcoholic excess, infidelity and marital breakdown to his triumphant later partnership with Penelope Shuttle. We also discover, for the first time, some darker secrets: his fascination with Aleister Crowley, his damaged and damaging relationship with his father, and the lifelong sexual fetish which he called the 'Game'. Drawing on the poet's intimate journals and correspondence, and interviews with family, friends and colleagues, A Lucid Dreamer tells the exceptionally inward and revealing story of an astonishing creative life.

Book excerpt: A new collection from Peter Redgrove is a cause for celebration, particularly when the poet - now in his seventieth year - strikes out in a new, thrilling direction. Using a liberating stepped verse form, Peter Redgrove opens up new paths in fresh territory, while consolidating his position as one of our finest poets of the natural world. The questing eye of his imagination is in constant motion- the book is full of doors and stairs and wheels, the movement of light and water, the world's daily transformations. Even his characters are shape-changers - the doctors, dentists, chemists and undertakers are all, in their way, magicians. And, evident throughout the collection, is an undertow of mortality - notably in the extraordinarily moving poems about Redgrove's late father- 'his knowledge went, and mine followed, / Catch it before/It leaves like a ghost,/on these stepped verses'.
