MEREDITH, GEORGE

Selected Poems

Caracanet Press. 1983. (ISBN: 9780856354168). Paperback, 19.2 x 13 x 1 cm. Condition good. Isbn 0-85635-416-3,0856354163. George Meredith (1828-1909) is best known as the author of The Egoist and Diana of the Crossways. His poetry, however, notably the poems from Modern Love, is emerging from long eclipse, and this selection reveals the diversity and originality of one of the most influential writers of his time. `His note was trenchant, turning kind,' Thomas Hardy wrote of him. The trenchancy was characteristic of his critical perspective on an age disoriented by a prosperity which had entailed severe moral and spiritual losses. The kindness was extended to those writers in whom he perceived excellence or the promise of it. Though he read for the bar, he turned for his living to journalism and to reading for the publishers Chapman and Hall. It was in these capacities that his influence was felt. In his introduction to this edition, Keith Hanley, Lecturer in English at Lancaster University, describes Meredith's distinctive naturalism and shows how the poetry is `designed to amplify and frame' these human values. `Only a few read my verse, and yet it is that for which I most care,' he said in old age. It is in his poetry that he invested most of himself, and over a very long period. Thomas Hardy, Robert Lowell and Tony Harrison are just three poets who have learned something from his emotional complexity and formal control. And the `Meredithian sonnet' has certainly not been exhausted as a modern form. Used: Acceptable.

MILNE, DREW

Go Figure (Salt Modern Poets)

cover, Salt Publishing. 2003. (ISBN: 9781844710294). Paperback, 20.3 x 15.5 x 0.8 cm. ref ZKVQ Condition good. This book of lyrics and texts challenges the way numbers prevail over words in art and experience. Providing a radically new poetry of the book and an exhilarating manifesto against maths in art, philosophy and society, Go Figure offers a critique of mathematical reason and a comedy of speculative wit. Review Original writing must always reinvent its own form if it is not to be part of a genre. Language is used against the grain, words allowed once again to do what they have to do in the circumstances. Milne sometimes summons up a diction from early English, rather as Helen Macdonald does, and the effect is an energising one which echoes the excitement of experimentation from an age when the language was new and wild and felt more malleable. Milne's poems shut nothing down and in this they are truly written for the reader and the world, "spangle-toed and smoke akimbo". Beyond mathematics and geometric form in art lies "the spirit of recognition. Wisdom sees that justice is more than the sum of sentences and compensation packages: judgment is an art, not mathematical juggling." That art, a political art, an intuitive poetry, is what we find between the covers of 'Go Figure'. (Edmund Hardy Terrible Work) Review How does anyone choose a utility supplier? Web-based mathematical engines will calculate the optimal payment plan, but their recommendations will not tally. So in day-to-day decisions we shut our eyes and play our pet systems, roulette-wheel mystics, finely adjusting and shrugging or invoking. Statistically I am sure to lose. Go Figure disarrays this contemporary order of being. Because Drew Milne loves dialectics he can write a long poem sequence which keeps moving at every level. His poems can be both pretty and vehement, playful while exacting. How is this possible? Go Figure, Donald Rumsfeld might say. But Drew Milne's poetry says, Come, we shall discover, and reanimates the contradictions whose mathematical expression has encased them in plastic or depleted uranium shells; reanimates them in the human beings provoked by this remarkable work. Surely that counts you? (John Wilkinson). Used: Acceptable.
