Selected Poems - Dannie Abse Welsh Poetry to English Pb
Selected Poems by Dannie Abse (Penguin) brings together the finest work from one of Wales's most celebrated and beloved poets — a writer whose voice is at once deeply personal and universally resonant.
Dannie Abse was a rare thing: a practising doctor, a Welshman rooted in Cardiff and London, and a poet of extraordinary humanity. His poems draw on medicine, music, the myths of Judaism, and the textures of everyday life, sculpting language with what the Daily Telegraph called "the alchemical power of good poetry." This selection gathers the poems that made his reputation — lyrical, witty, and quietly profound.
Whether you come to Abse as a poetry lover, a student of 20th-century Welsh writing, or simply someone who wants verse that feels genuinely alive, this Penguin edition is an ideal introduction and a keeper.
