Haw Lantern

Faber 90th anniversary edition of this deeply moving, meditative, understated collection from the Nobel Prize-winning poet. Widely praised on its first publication in 1987, The Haw Lantern ventured into new imaginative territory with poems exploring the theme of loss – including a celebrated sonnet sequence concerning the death of the poet’s mother – joined by meditations on the conscience of the writer and exercises in an allegorical vein. This beautifully designed edition forms part of a series of ten titles celebrating Faber’s publishing over the decades. —- ISBN: 9780571352326
