Wrestling in Mud is Herbert's long overdue collection spanning five decades of excellent poetry writing. 'There's a sense of history here,' comments Ruth Bidgood, 'but also poems that do indeed sing a greeting to the future.' The new poems display a poet who, as Ifor Thomas says, is, 'at the peak of his powers, a wise, reflective, mature poet who at the same time delights in being as scurrilous and acerbic as a thwarted teenager.'
ED: I salute any poet who can call their New & Selected Poems 'Wrestling in Mud'. Can't wait to see the cover image ...
