Description

Available at last are all the poems by one of the twentieth century’s greatest British writers, Dame Muriel Spark: “a true literary artist, acerbic and exhilarating” (London Evening Standard). In the seventy-three poems collected here Muriel Spark works in open forms as well as villanelles, rondels, epigrams, and even the tour de force of a twenty-one page ballad. She also shows herself a master of unforgettable short poems. Before attaining fame as a novelist (Memento Mori, The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie), Muriel Spark was already an acclaimed poet. The “power and control” of her poetry, as Publishers Weekly remarked, “is almost startling.” With the vitality and wit typical of all her work, Dame Muriel has never stopped writing poems, which frequently appear in The New Yorker. As with all her creations, the poems show Spark to be “astonishingly talented and truly inimitable” (The San Francisco Chronicle).
