Collected Poems
$12.99
When Michael Donaghy died in 2004 - unexpectedly at the tragically young age of 50, of a brain aneurism - the world lost one of its best-loved poets.
Michael was not only a brilliant, prize-laden poet and performer of his own work, but a great teacher and inspirer of others. Now we have collected together all his mature work, including around 20 previously unpublished pieces. We have commissioned a major critical essay from pre-eminent poetry critic, Sean O'Brien, for this hugely important book by a writer who will come to be regarded as a late-modern metaphysical, and one of the representative voices of the age.
