Description

Selected Poems 1972-1997 was a Poetry Book Society Special Commendation.

Born and raised in Mexico but possessing what he has called ‘an English vocation’, Schmidt displays a fascinating formal restlessness and variety in his lyrics, elegies and verse letters. Drama and precision remain the hallmarks, but melancholy is displaced by celebration: of friendship and love.
