Praise for Geoffrey Hill’s newest collection of poems:
“Without Title, his new collection, combines the force and freedom of Hill's narrative verse with a renewed faith in his masterly talents for form and wordplay. The result is alarmingly good; a collection of lyrics on the difficulties of ageing, the problems of belief and the vagaries of language bracketing a sequence of pindarics in which Hill, ostensibly responding to thoughts of the Italian poet Cesare Pavese, meditates at length on both their lives and considers the place of a poet in the world.”—Tim Martin, Independent on Sunday

"The most rewarding poetry book I have read this year is Geoffrey Hill's Without Title, an excellent point of entry for new readers of his work and a major addition to his momentous oeuvre. Here, through direct, gorgeous language, we visit his personal landscapes and his wider civic, cultural and spiritual themes."—Michael Schmidt, author and publisher, The Sunday Herald
"Mr. Hill [is] one of the most fascinating poets at work today—one whose every new book promises a revelation. . . . Without Title is a good introduction to Mr. Hill's late style, with all its beauties, . . . and readers who want to get to know the poet would do well to start here. . . . They will find poems of intense, gloomy beauty, with a Hardy-like affinity for English landscape, and a tone of voice that, once heard, is never forgotten. . . . Without Title confirms that the more of Mr. Hill's poetry you read, the more you find to argue with and to admire—a sure sign that you are in the presence of a major poet."—Adam Kirsch, New York Sun
