Summary

When Simon Armitage burst on to the poetry scene in 1989 with his spectacular debut Zoom!, readers were introduced to an exceptional new talent who would reshape the landscape of contemporary poetry in the years to come. Now, Armitage's reputation as one of the nation's most original, most respected and most influential poets seems secure. Paper Aeroplane: Poems 1989-2014 is the author's own choice of work from across a quarter century of publishing.

Drawing upon all of his award-winning poetry collections, including Kid, Book of Matches, The Universal Home Doctor, Seeing Stars and The Unaccompanied, as well as his medieval translations and verse dramas, Paper Aeroplane represents a generous and thrilling gathering of work from one of contemporary poetry's most essential voices.

An excellent collection

I have thoroughly enjoyed this collection of poems from Armitage. I'd never really found the time to read modern poetry but I'm very glad I have. He reads his own work very well and the little vignettes he gives into the origin, or the thought process within it, helped me immensely to both understand and enjoy them. Thank you and well done.
