Description:
In The Breakage, Glyn Maxwell "blends the brutally honest introspection of American poets like Frost and Lowell with accessible, lighthearted language reminiscent of mid-twentieth-century British masters like Auden and Betjeman" (New York Times). A series of verse letters to the English poet Edward Thomas forms the centerpiece of this remarkable collection. Whether lyrical or narrative, comic or contemplative, exploring love and fatherhood, triumph and longing, "The Breakage is a very exciting book" (New Republic).
