William Plomer, (born Dec. 10, 1903, Transvaal, S.Af.—died Sept. 21, 1973, Lewes, East Sussex, Eng.)

Review:
"A welcome rescue operation on the unjustly forgotten William Plomer, novelist, librettist, and (above all) poet of decorous wistfulness and cunning, understated mastery." —Roger Kimball, Publisher and Editor, The New Criterion; publisher, Encounter Books
"This Selected Poems is a welcome sign that Plomer the poet is still with us . . . [whose] cool, precise and impersonal style may put off modern readers with a taste for confessional candour and soul-searching. He was no tub-thumper but favoured (as he wrote to Stephen Spender) 'the sensory, pictorial and plastic rather than the philosophical, metaphysical or political.'" —David Collard, Times Literary Supplement
