Bøger af Geoffrey Hill

Broken Hierarchies collects twenty books of poems by Geoffrey Hill, written over sixty years, and presents them in their definitive form. Four of these books (Ludo, Expostulations on the Volcano, Liber Illustrium Virorum, and Al Tempo de' Tremuoti) have never before appeared in print, and three of them (Hymns to Our Lady of Chartres, Pindarics, and Clavics) have been greatly revised and expanded.

This volume brings together poems from four decades of Geoffrey Hill's work.

Here is public poetry of uncommon moral urgency: it bears witness to the sufferings of the innocent at the hands of history and to the martyrdom of those who have dared look history in the eye. "Rich, quarrelsome...handsome and brutish...Hill's poetry is the major achievement of late-twentieth-century verse," says The New Criterion. "Canaan is one of the few serious books we will have to mark the millennium."

At his death in 2016, Geoffrey Hill left behind The Book of Baruch by the Gnostic Justin, a sequence of more than 270 poems, to be published posthumously as his final statement. It is a great work, and in Hill's oeuvre it is a uniquely welcoming work, open to all comers.

This is a signed limited edition of 90 beautiful books, hand-bound and slipcased by the Fine Book Bindery in flecked maroon Dubletta cloth with Fabriano Tiziano endpapers. There has only ever been one other Geoffrey Hill SLE printed, making this a rare opportunity for poetry afficionados and collectors alike.
