Book Description

Writing Home is Williams's first full-length collection for ten years. It traces an itinerant childhood and his changing relationship with his actor father. As well as writing home to his father, he writes home from his past--from boarding school, from adolescence, and from the last war, using material from his father's letters to his mother from North Africa. "Possibly the most original poet of his generation in England."--Edna Longley, Irish Times
