  Amazon.ca: The Oxford Book of Sonnets: Books: John Fuller   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Fuller doesn't neglect the sonnet's historical variations in mode and prosodic practice.
In his introduction, John Fuller tells us that considerations of expense limited him to including only one sonnet per represented poet still under copyright, with the exception of three (Robinson, Millay and Auden).
John Fuller's strategies for selection are rational, given limitations imposed by his publisher; I'd have prefered inclusion of modern sonnet sequences and more selections by American poets.

 Guardian Unlimited Books | By genre | Review: Now and for a Time by John Fuller
As for John Fuller, he could only be a bottle of port or claret at an Oxford high table.
Fuller is as uxorious a poet as they come: hiatuses in the couple's mutual understanding are overcome with such rapidity as to be hardly worth mentioning in the first place ("How easy, this ability / To lose whatever we possess / By ceasing to believe that we / Deserve such brilliant success").
Fuller's 1996 collection Stones and Fires stands out from the rest of his oeuvre for its very unwhimsical portrayal of grief at the death of his father, in poems like "The Garden", "Star-Gazing" and the marvellous "A Cuclshoc", and was rewarded with that year's Forward prize.

John Fuller's ninth novel, Flawed Angel (Chatto & Windus), was one of the quieter critical successes of 2005.
Fuller says of his early exposure to literature that he "read rubbish" until he was about 12 or so, "and then I read just about everything one should have read.
Fuller's first poem was published in the Listener when he was 16 in 1953; he won the Oxford undergraduate Newdigate Prize in 1960 and the following year published his debut collection, Fairground Music, which included poems dating back to 1954.

 RandomHouse.ca | Author Spotlight: John Fuller
John Fuller is an acclaimed poet and novelist, author of thirteen volumes of verse and several works of fiction.
In his fifteenth collection of poetry, Fuller delves into mortality – his own and others’: the bodies of the men and women who threw themselves out of the twin tower windows floating outwards like ghosts, hovering between life and death.
The twenty-one poems in this new collection prove again that John Fuller is a true master of this art – taking us from birth to death; from a baby’s first delightful babblings, to the dignified, measured words of a man surveying his life and marriage and looking forward into the unknown...

 [minstrels] Concerto for Double Bass -- John Fuller
But instead of painstaking (and boring) detail, the poet uses metaphor: the double bass is a dancer, and the musician is a suitor whispering into her ear.
Or the double bass is a fat lady [3], and the musician, running his bow athwart its strings, is a magician cutting her in half.
Instead, Fuller dives straight into the heart of the musical _experience_, with words that evoke the same reaction as the notes themselves: "But close your eyes and it is sunset At the edge of the world.

 Dana Gioia Online - James Fenton
The young Fenton's literary acquaintance with the work of the elder poet was reinforced by a personal encounter when Auden accepted an invitation to read at his patron saint's school.
Fuller's own poetry, which is so distinguished by its wit, intelligence, and technical brilliance, even offered a model of how Auden's influence could be profitably incorporated.
With a determination and intellectual self-confidence that presaged the poet’s later career in political journalism, theater reviewing, and art criticism, Fenton immersed himself in Japanese history and produced a remarkable sequence of twenty-one sonnets and two haiku (a characteristically audacious combination of disparate forms calculated to hit exactly the composition's maximum length of 300 lines).

 John Fuller CV at PFD
John Fuller is an acclaimed novelist and poet.
It so happens that both Brahms and Arnold found themselves contemplating their art and their lives in the small Swiss town of Thun, and it is Thun that provides the setting for the wonderful concluding poem of this collection in which Fuller thinks back to his own boyhood and his parents` marriage.
The movement of thought is rendered beautifully concrete in the intricate music of their language, and melancholy co-exists with a lightness of touch that builds a moving and humane barricade against `life`s brevity/and its insignificance.`

 John Stubbs « Interview « ReadySteadyBook - a literary site
John Stubbs: I first came across Donne when I was a teenager, in an old paisley-covered Penguin selection my father had had with him at university.
John Carey’s iconoclastic study of Donne, modifying R.C. Bald’s monumental, but much more pious account (which in its turn decisively revised the popular view of Donne as a rake and an intellectual demon), was a truly vital book.
The contemporary poet I enjoy reading most is Iggy McGovern: I thought his book The King of Suburbia was tremendous.

 Review John Fuller's Now and For a Time
Now and for a Time is John Fuller's sixteenth collection of poetry; he has also published eight volumes of fiction, six children's books, edited four books and written two critical tomes.
But the highlight of the book, as with many of Fuller's collections, is its longest poem, "Round and Round." Fuller has displayed, time after time, that he is the greatest living master of the leisurely discursive poem in English.
Fuller is a poet who celebrates domesticity, the "civilising glow," the "tidy light," but realizes both "focused, and required, the night." Life's beauty being dependent on its mortality haunted Keats; in a similar fashion, Fuller's joys require the night.

 Fuller, J.: W. H. Auden: A Commentary.
Fuller organizes the book on the basis of the individual collections that Auden himself originally published, with sections of "uncollected" work interwoven.
Fuller's commentary bears a family resemblance to scientific, lyrical compendia such as Burton's Anatomy of Melancholy.
It is the work of a scholar and successful poet, who can write illuminatingly about verse form and poetic tone as well as about sources and influences.

 Donald Hall in conversation with Ian Hamilton
Hall comes across as a professional poet who has made the most of the institutional opportunities available in post-war America to build a career as writer and teacher.
He is as practical and dispassionate in his attitude to subject matter as to poetic form: both are to be extended in the interests of furthering the reach of his poetry, and if private experience is to be drawn on, it does not deserve any more excitable treatment than other topics.

In it he reckons with his own mortality, writing poems about the deaths of people he has known and the births of grandchildren, at the same time as looking forward to the time when he too will pass on.
As always in his poetry, there is a probing into the meaning of life, a wonderfully melodic personal dialogue in which the poet asks and attempts to answer in the course of a poem some of life's more mysterious questions.
But such philosophical musings are always anchored in beautifully concrete, atmospheric and sensual detail: a man sitting thinking in front of an open fire hugging his 'kneehump'; the bodies of the men and women who threw themselves out of the twin tower windows floating outwards like ghosts, hovering between life and death.

In part because he categorically groups and excludes "neo-modernists," "language poets," and "performance poets" from his discussion, it is necessary to consult a book such as Tuma's to complete the account of recent British poetry in somewhat the same way one needs, in the American context, to read Marjorie Perloff after reading Helen Vendler.
Many of the poets he discusses are as much a challenge to avant-garde pieties as the really innovative work of British experimentalists - neo-modernists, language poets and performance writers among them - is a challenge to mainstream literary conventions.
