Collected poems

by Enoch Powell

Enoch Powell is, perhaps, the best-known politician of the last forty years; a Member of Parliament of such independent views that is influence has been felt right across the political spectrum. Many political observers believe he has the sharpest analytical mind in modern British politics.

Yet Enoch Powell is also an intensely private man whose scholarship hides strong passions that have allowed him, at crucial moments in his life, to express himself in poetry of great emotional power. He published four volumes in all between 1937 and 1951, each the result of different compulsions in the face of momentous times.

Enoch Powell has written a revealing introduction to this fascinating new volumes putting both his own emotions and his poetry in context. Here are the Collected Poems of an Englishman of his time.
