<p>In gathering four decades of work, Hugo Williams''s <i>Collected Poems </i>brings back into print a vast body of material long since unavailable - from his 1965 debut <i>Symptoms of Loss </i>to <i>Self-Portrait with a Slide </i>(1990) and including <i>Writing Home </i>(1985), described by Mick Imlah in the<i> Independent on Sunday </i>as ''a classic of creative autobiography''. The edition is brought up to date with his most recent work: <i>Dock Leaves</i>, a PBS Choice of 1994, and <i>Billy''s Rain</i>, winner of the 1999 T. S. Eliot Award.<br><br><br>''This year''s best collection of works by a single poet. Intimate, charming and often funny, sometimes wistful, slightly sceptical, full of insight, the poems are a monument to 40 years of talent.'' <i>Times</i><br><br>''In their seemingly artless way, these poems look with candour at feebleness, messy love affairs, squirming memories, and emerge triumphantly, often with a rueful grin.'' Anthony Thwaite, <i>Sunday Telegraph</i><br><b
