From the Jacket: For
his sixtieth birthday friends of the distinguished poet, critic
and biographer Ian Hamilton, have gathered to offer an international
festschrift to honour his writings and the remarkable influence
he has exerted on his generation. The result is an unrivalled portrait
of literary London for the last thirty years, a Who's Who? of Britain's
best poets, novelists, and playwrights resulting in a unique document
filled with wit and humour ... a must.
