A Treatise of Civil Power

Synopsis

Geoffrey Hill's latest book takes its title from an obscure pamphlet of Milton's, a poet in whose footsteps Hill can justly claim to follow. Again we confront his usual obsessions — language, governance, war, politics, the contemporary and classical worlds and the nature of poetry itself. This is without a doubt the work of a major poet, writing at the height of his powers.

Critic Review:

'In a time when poetry is being asked to defend and justify itself, he can still provide a re-affirming counter-blast.'
The Daily Telegraph

'The late flowering of Hill’s genius is a marvel to behold.'
Evening Standard
