Product Description
With Cousin Coat, OBrien aficionados will be grateful to have so much of the early work available again, while new converts will be delighted to find that OBriens scabrous wit and lyric assurance were just as sharp at the outset of his career as they are now. For those as yet unacquainted with his work, this new selection will provide an excellent introduction to one of the finest English poets of the last fifty years.
