Christopher Reid’s Selected Poems moves through a
neat thirty-year stretch from his first collection Arcadia (1979) to his
acclaimed Costa-winning volume A Scattering (2009). We travel from
Reid’s early period of inventiveness to the later years of solemnity. More importantly, however, it fleshes out a career many will only know through Reid’s recent work.
