Living in the Delta New and Collected Poems

Living in the Delta: Collected and New Poems brings together work from nine previous collections. As a poet his work is warm, humane, intelligent and immensely readable. A brilliant comic writer who can move in an instant from sly wit to laugh-out-loud funny. Yet suddenly with a poem like "African Incident" you are in the midst of tragedy. Landeg White is a moving celebrant of love and family and community; a passionate, meticulous observer of the natural world — a complete poet.

Landeg White was born in south Wales. His books include studies of V. S. Naipaul; of Mozambican and Malawian history; and of southern African praise poetry; along with seven collections of poetry including Where the Angolans are Playing Football and Arab Work. He teaches at Portugal's Universidade Aberta (Open University). His translation of Camões' The Lusíads won the TLS translation prize for 1998. His further translation of The Collected Lyric Poems of Luís de Camões has recently appeared from Princeton University Press.
