Who's Halpern?

Heavan knows who Halpern is, but Graham was a marvellous poet, and this selection of his searching, wry and warm poetry is too small. Even the smaller poems - O Why Are You So Bright? for example - are as intriguing as the longer The Nightfishing, or Johann Joachim Quantzes Five Lessons.

Graham's Poems, not Halpern's

Contrary to the editorial review above, this volume contains selected poems by W.S. Graham, and not by this Halpern character at all. It is an adequate selection of Sydney Graham's poetry, containing the full text of 'The Nightfishing", his key modernist poem, selections from the 'Letters' and all the best known later poems - 'Malcolm Mooney's Land', 'Clusters Travelling Outward', etc.Nothing to do with Halpern, I promise.
