Description
Basil Bunting's work was published haphazardly throughout most of his life, and in many cases he did not oversee publication. This is the first critical edition of the complete poems, and offers an accurate text with variants from all printed sources. Don Share annotates Bunting's often complex and allusive verse, with much illuminating quotation from his prose writings, interviews and correspondence. He also examines Bunting's use of sources (including Persian literature and classical mythology), and explores the Northumbrian roots of Bunting's poetic vocabulary and use of dialect.
About Basil Bunting

Born in Northumberland in 1900, Basil Bunting moved to Paris in the 1920s and later followed Pound to Italy. He lived thereafter in Berlin, Tenerife, America, Persia - working as a music critic, sea captain, RAF officer, Times correspondent and Chief of Political Intelligence in Tehran. In 1954 he returned to Northumberland, and worked for several years as a sub-editor on the Newcastle Evening Chronicle until his retirement in 1966. First recognized as a major modernist poet by Ezra Pound and Louis Zukofsky, Bunting remains deeply influential among British and American poets to this day. He died in 1985.

Don Share is the former editor of Poetry magazine. His books include Wishbone (Black Sparrow), Union (Eyewear), and Bunting's Persia (Flood Editions). His translations of Miguel Hernández, awarded the Times Literary Supplement Translation Prize and Premio Valle Inclán, were published in a revised and expanded edition by New York Review Books, and also appear in an edition from Bloodaxe Books.
