The Haw Lantern

Faber 90th anniversary edition of this deeply moving, meditative, understated collection from the Nobel Prize-winning poet.

Widely praised on its first publication in 1987, The Haw Lantern ventured into new imaginative territory with poems exploring the theme of loss – including a celebrated sonnet sequence concerning the death of the poet''s mother – joined by meditations on the conscience of the writer and exercises in an allegorical vein.

This beautifully designed edition forms part of a series of ten titles celebrating Faber''s publishing over the decades.
