Follow on Google News | Baskerville Publishers New Release The Red Sea, Poetry by Stephen EdgarNew and selected poems by award winning Australian poet Stephen Edgar. This is the first book of Mr. Edgar's poetry to be released in the United States.
These poems cohere because they are rich in physical and historical fact, their scaffolding is as of steel, and their music rises from a lyricism precise and generous. A craftsman, yes. New classicist, yes. This is magisterial poetry. Stephen Edgar was born in Sydney, Australia. He has published seven collections of poetry in Australia. What is most immediately distinctive about him, certainly among poets of his generation, is his commitment to formal verse and for showing considerable panache in handling it." (Kevin Hart, Oxford Companion to Twentieth-Century Poetry) Among his awards are the Grace Leven Poetry Prize (2003), the Peter Porter Poetry Prize (2005) and the Philip Hodgins Memorial Medal for excellence in literature (2006).
