Books by Basil Bunting

Basil Bunting is one of the most important British poets of the twentieth century. This critical edition of the complete poems offers an accurate text with variants from all printed sources. It annotates Bunting's often complex and allusive verse, with much illuminating quotation from his prose writings, interviews and correspondence.

Throughout, editor Peter Makin expands upon and annotates the lectures with additional comments drawn from Bunting's writings.

Basil Bunting is one of the most important British poets of the 20th century. This title includes a CD with an audio recording Bunting made of "Briggflatts" in 1967 and a DVD of Peter Bell's 1982 film portrait of Bunting.

The Bloodaxe edition of Bunting's Complete Poems is a reissue of The Complete Poems (Oxford University Press, 1994). Bloodaxe later sublicensed a critical edition of Bunting's complete poetry, The Poems, edited by Don Share (2016), to Faber & Faber, which includes three poems not included in the Bloodaxe edition, which is otherwise complete.
