About This Item
Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1997. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. Signed by Hill on the title page. Fine in a Fine jacket, unclipped ($22.00). Quarter black cloth with dark grey paper on the boards. Square and firmly bound, clean internally. Hill's collection of poetry that "decries the misrule of his native England, where influence and national memory are bought and sold for pocket change.
Synopsis
Here is public poetry of uncommon moral urgency: it bears witness to the sufferings of the innocent at the hands of history and to the martyrdom of those who have dared look history in the eye. "Rich, quarrelsome...handsome and brutish...Hill's poetry is the major achievement of late-twentieth-century verse," says The New Criterion. "Canaan is one of the few serious books we will have to mark the millennium."
