His correspondence, like his poetry, is wide-ranging, full of generosity and enthusiasm, and above all testament to his lifelong commitment to exploring the possibilities of poetry.

This selection of his letters, spanning Morgans full career as a teacher and writer, enables readers to track the development of his ideas, his friendships and his creative collaborations.

At the same time it provides a superbly engaging portrait of a man with a boundless interest in the fast-changing world around him.
