The Unaccompanied
The Unaccompanied | Simon Armitage
7 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
Praised for his powerfully inventive, influential verse, Simon Armitage has resided at the heart of British poetry for more than a quarter century. Throughout, his work has celebrated range and adaptability, most recently in the prose poems of Seeing Stars (2010), the dramatisation of The Last Days of Troy (2014) and the translation of medieval Pearl(2016). But The Unaccompanied, his eleventh single volume, is a return to Armitage's trademark contemporary lyricism. Warm, knowing, generous and moving, the poems in this new collection combine wit and mischief with heart-stopping honesty, and mark out The Unaccompanied as a major publication by a writer the Observer has described as 'the best poet of his generation.'

A Chair. From Simon Armitage‘s latest collection, The Unaccompanied. He is one of three writers responsible for my being a writer; his style is so deceptively simple that on reading his collection Seeing Stars I thought, ‘I can do that‘ 🙄
HIGHLY recommend his recent collected works ‘Paper Aeroplanes‘

TrishB I really like Armitage 👍🏻 4y
conorpunchbook @TrishB he was my gateway poet some ten years ago. So versatile. You might like this too ... https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p085jg48/episodes/downloads 4y

Mr Armitage - new Poet Laureate 😁❤️ I like.

arlenefinnigan Didn't think he'd take the Queen's shilling. Good luck to him. Hope he continues to use plenty of swearwords. 😉 5y
TrishB @arlenefinnigan he‘s giving the money to an annual competition on climate change (writing a poem obviously!) Hoping he keeps up the swearing and the northern accent. 5y
arlenefinnigan @TrishB excellent. 5y

I love a lot of Armitage but this collection is a bit hit and miss for me - some great ones, but not enough to reflect from the not so great!

Mehso-so

So I didn't want to start a new book tonight as I'm going to a Robin Hobb signing tomorrow and that book is being read the minute I get home!
But I literally can't sit without a book, so read some poetry. I love Simon Armitage - but this was just so-so. Some good poems, some ok. The best was Thank You for Waiting.
The cover though 💗

Melissa_J I'm jealous that you get to go to a Robin Hobb signing 😉 7y
TrishB @Melissa_J I'm so excited 😀 but I know my heart will break when Fitz and the Fool is over 💔 7y
Melissa_J @TrishB I still have the last book to read in Tawny Man before I start the latest trilogy. I love the characters and world! I too will be sad when it's over, but I still have the Rain Wilds books to look forward to. I loved Liveship Traders. 7y

Andrew65 I still need to read my first Robin Hobb book, hoping to get to it in May. 7y
TrishB I'm up to date except for the new one 😔 may have to start a re-read @Melissa_J 7y
TrishB @Andrew65 ohhh you have all the books to read!! Don't start with the Soldiers trilogy..... 7y
Andrew65 @TrishB Think it was @Melissa_J that advised me to start with The Assassins Apprentice so that it what I have planned in. 7y
TrishB @Andrew65 yep that's the one to start with 👍 7y
Andrew65 @TrishB @melissa_j I have the first one in the trilogy in ebook form, and book 2 and 3 as audiobooks. 7y
TrishB @Andrew65 @Melissa_J they are probably my favourite fantasy series! 7y
Andrew65 @TrishB That's a very glowing recommendation. 7y
Melissa_J @Andrew65 you'll love them Andrew! 7y
TrishB @Andrew65 said with some trepidation!! Don't usually say favourites, but it probably is. 7y
Andrew65 @TrishB 😊 7y
