Long overdue return to Colpitts of one of the most brilliant and important poets writing in English today.
Born in Budapest, Szirtes came to England as a refugee in 1956. From The Slant Door (Secker & Warburg 1979, joint winner of the Faber Memorial Prize) through Reel (Bloodaxe 2004, winner of the 2005 T. S. Eliot Prize) to Fortinbras at the Fishhouses (Bloodaxe 2010), his resonant, humane, formally wide-ranging poems pungently explore the tension arising from displacement and the loss of his earliest home and the consequent negotiation between a European sensibility and English culture.
