Praise for John Betjeman Collected Poems
-
A true poet who extends experience - Margaret Lane
-
John Betjeman has succeeded . . . in narrowing the gulf between poetry and the public . . . he has established a personal regency over all contemporary taste - The Times
-
It would be difficult - in my opinion impossible - to point to a contemporary poet of greater originality or more genuine depth of feeling - Anthony Powell
