This paperback edition adds one undiscovered poem to the 1990 edition, for which Warren Hope had unearthed many uncollected poems and translations. Warren Hope contributes an extended biographical essay on Cameron, and the poems are introduced in the context of their times by Jonathan Barker.
Norman Cameron (1905-53) was born in Bombay in 1905, and brought up in Edinburgh. His later years were centred in England, where he worked in advertising and was famous for creating the Horlicks 'Night Starvation' campaign. Warren Hope was born in Philadelphia, PA in 1944 and now teaches at the Montgomery County Community College. He is the author of critical studies of Frost, Heaney, Larkin, Orwell and Shakespeare, and 'Adam's Thoughts in Winter: A Selection of Poems 1970-2000'. His biography, 'Norman Cameron: His Life, Work and Letters', was published in 2000. Jonathan Barker lives in London and is a poetry critic. He has worked as Librarian of the Arts Council Poetry Library and Deputy Director of Literature for the British Council. He has edited bibliographies of contemporary poetry, poetry anthologies, an edition of the poems of W.H. Davies and a book of critical essays on Edward Thomas.
Here at last is a book of poems by a modern poet that is almost solid gold. It contains no dross and precious little gloss... These poems will be loved and valued by those who know that poetry is not a matter of public performance or praise but an inspired truth-telling Robert Nye, The Times
