More DescriptionPeter Redgrove, who died in June 2003, was a friend and contemporary of Ted Hughes and Sylvia Plath and became one of the most celebrated and prolific post-war poets - regarded by many as a true visionary.
The Harper, which gathers together his last poems, is a collection still charged with characteristic energy, eroticism and transforming imagination.

Peter Redgrove made us look at our world with fresh eyes, and he changed our perception forever.
