Tom Raworth Books

This author explores the boundaries of language and form, often employing a disjunctive style of short, unpunctuated lines that invite the reader into a labyrinth of syntactic possibilities. His poetry weaves together everyday observations with self-reflexive commentary on thinking and writing, alongside affectionate nods to pulp fiction and film noir, and political satire. Later works extend these techniques into kaleidoscopic sequences that challenge traditional poetic forms. His extensive collected poetry and uncategorizable prose work present a unique blend of autobiography and fiction, creating a vertiginous patchwork of experience.
