Al Alvarez, New & Selected Poems |
 | | Alvarez has not been a prolific poet, but as another admiring critic has written, though "slight indeed in volume", his verse "is rich in its economy". |
 | | Al Alvarez is a poet, novelist, literary critic, anthologist, and author of many non-fiction books on topics ranging from suicide, divorce and dreams The Savage God, Life After Marriage, Night to poker, North Sea oil and mountaineering The Biggest Game in Town, Offshore, Feeding the Rat. |
 | | Alvarez seems to have whittled himself: the nine "New Poems" shed some of his pervasive melancholy and relish the tangible world with a succulent exactness of imagery. |
