Work in Regress

Work in Regress, Peter Reading's first new collection since the recently published two volume Collected Poems, shows the controversial bard in true, headstrong style, turning against the idea of poetry being worth anything in the modern world, at the same time as he creates angry, heartbreaking, grimly ironic poetry out of blackness and despair.Work in Regress was shortlisted for the 1997 T. S. Eliot Prize in Britain, and was also a Poetry Book Society Choice.
