What is The Poetry of Geoffrey Hill about?

<p>The development of Geoffrey Hill’s verse over 30 years is like the topography of his homeground in the West Midlands of En­gland. There are hills and valleys but no wholly unexpected shifts of contour.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Henry Hart has completed the first comprehensive mapping of this new po­etic landscape and finds Hill a deeply tra­ditional poet capable of writing in a vari­ety of forms, but also one who used his superior skills to debate tradition.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Hart begins the discussion of Hill’s work with selections written during his Oxford days in the early 1950s<b>.</b> The poet’s themes of passion, crisis, and the struggle toward perception and control were then finding their early focus in the quest for intense vision and right judgment.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The post-Oxford works—<i>For</i> <i>the Un-fallen, King Log, Mercian Hymns,</i> and <i>Tenebrae—</i>along with Hill’s most recent poem, <i>The Mystery of the Charity of Charles Peguy,</i> all display verbal power, skill with forms, and sensuously and metaphysically informed intelligence.</p>
