Michael Symmons Roberts' Selected Poems (Cape) brings together the best work from six remarkable collections. His poems achieve their seriousness not through hectoring argument but through their lightness of touch, their wit, their tenderness, their music. Professor of Poetry at Manchester Metropolitan University, Michael has won the Forward Prize, the Costa Poetry Prize and the Whitbread Poetry Award, and been shortlisted for the Griffin International Poetry Prize and the T.S. Eliot Prize. Further acclaim has come for his continuing collaboration with composer James MacMillan, the non-fiction book, Edgelands, co-written with Paul Farley, and his extensive work for radio.
