Originally published by Faber and Faber in Great Britain in 2012.
A complete edition of Beckett's poetry and verse translations.
"Samuel Beckett began his career by publishing poems in literary reviews in Paris during the 1930s, and--although primarily considered a playwright and novelist--he continued writing poetry throughout his life. This new, definitive volume presents Beckett's poetry in the order it was composed, from prewar to postwar, and contains previously unpublished and never-before- reprinted work. Along with his translations of Apollinaire, Mallarmé, Rimbaud, and many others, this book also brings together all of the pieces from Collected Poems in English and French, selections from Mexican Poetry: An Anthology (translated by Beckett), and poems that appeared in his novels and plays. Extensive critical notes by editors Seán Lawlor and John Pilling detail the circumstances of their composition, explaining obscure allusions and references (frequently sourced to Beckett's notebooks) and identifying resonances across his oeuvre." -- Publisher's website.
