{"product_id":"selected-poems-7","title":"Selected Poems","description":"Product Description      \nMichael Hofmann's poems have been widely admired, notably for their gift of compressed and vividly pointed reportage, and the collision course of words and dictions that his poetry characteristically provokes. His subject-matter has been equally individual, including his remarkable and complex series of 'father-poems', his subtle portraiture of the lives of others, East and West, together with his acerbic impressionism of contemporary England, and his exploration of Adorno's injunction that 'it is part of morality not to be at home in one's home'.\n      Review      \n\"'Michael Hofmann is one of the best poets writing in English.' Helen Dunmore, The Observer\"\n      Book Description      \nMichael Hofmann's Selected Poems contains a new selection of poems that is a retrospective on a glittering poetic career.\n      About the Author      \nMichael Hofmann was born in 1957 in Freiburg, Germany, and came to England in 1961.
