| Summary: | Dicing for Pearls continues a connection between Jeremy Reed and Enitharmon that goes back to his earliest books of poetry in the 1970s and to his first novel The Lipstick Boys in 1984. More recently the association between poet and publisher has been renewed by Jeremy Reed's latest collection This is How You Disappear (2007). Jeremy Reed's Selected Poems, published by Penguin Books in 1987, were greeted with great enthusiasm by critics and fellow poets. Kathleen Raine described them as the work of 'the most imaginatively gifted poet since Dylan Thomas'; Seamus Heaney referred to the 'rich and careful writing', and David Lodge drew attention to Reed's 'remarkable lyric gift, especially the ability to find fresh and vivid metaphors for the ever-changing sea and the creatures that live in and beside it.' |
