F.T. Prince's "Collected Poems 1935-1992" incorporates all the work that he wished to preserve, from his earliest published poems to late, uncollected pieces. Prince has become best known for his wartime poem "Soldiers Bathing", a meditation on violence and redemption. "Collected Poems" reveals the riches of a lifetime's work. His poetry combines a deep affinity with European humanist traditions and a modernist rigour: here is one of the essential twentieth-century writers.
'F.T. Prince ranks with Auden and Spender as one of the major English poets of his generation.' - JOHN ASHBERY '"Soldiers Bathing"' is one of the best bits of writing to have come out of the second world (or any other) war. It tears the heart, but it lifts the spirit, too.' - ROBERT NYE 'F.T. Prince's Collected Poems 1935-1992 is a sumptuous minor monument.' ANTHONY THWAITE
