The Harper gathers together Redgrove’s last poems, and is a collection charged with his characteristic energy, eroticism and transforming imagination. Redgrove’s language thrills with thunder, rain and electricity, the air heavy with perfumes and balsams, wasps and spiders – and reading these poems is uncannily like re-entering a dream.

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