New and Selected Poems

Cliff Yates's

New & Selected Poems brings together over thirty years of inimitable work, from his Fenton-Aldeburgh Prize debut,

Henry's Clock, to his most recent pamphlet,

Another Last Word and beyond. His poems are moving, surprising and funny, sometimes in the space of a few lines, and, gathered together wonderfully here, add up to an oblique but compelling document of lives and times.
