Three Poems by Ian Hamilton

Ian Hamilton was born in East England in 1938 and died in 2001. The majority of his life’s work is composed of critical essays and biographical writings. He wrote very few poems, and wrote them very slowly. For example, in 1988, he wrote: I have written fifty poems in twenty-five years: not much to brag about for being half a lifetime.” As an editor, he was known as tough and difficult to impress. Nevertheless, his poems speak of a different Ian, sensitive to alarm clocks and green walls. In 2009, Faber printed his complete poetic works (Collected poems).

Although you head still burns Your hands remember me.
