Selected Poems

by Hugo Williams

Published 1 March 1989
This selection of poems was compiled by the poet and includes work from his five individual volumes published over the last 20 years - "Symptoms of Loss", his first full-length collection published when he was 23, "Sugar Daddy", "Some Sweet Day", "Love-Life" and "Writing Home". Hugo Williams is also a television critic, and poetry editor of the "New Statesman".

Hugo Williams's new collection characteristically blends humour and pathos to examine the far from ordinary occurrences of our so-called ordinary lives. This book is intended for poetry.
