F.T. Prince's Collected Poems 1935-1992 incorporates all the work that
he wished to preserve, from his earliest published poems to late,
uncollected pieces. Prince has become best known for his wartime poem
'Soldiers Bathing', a meditation on violence and redemption. Collected
Poems reveals the riches of a lifetime's work. His poetry combines a
deep affinity with European humanist traditions and a modernist rigour:
here is one of the essential twentieth-century writers.
