Publisher Description: Basil Bunting, one of the greatest modernist poets, had an extraordinary life. Born in the mining village of Scotswood in Tyneside in 1900, after a largely Quaker education, during which at the age of 13 he met the love of his life, he left school in 1918 and went straight to prison as a conscientious objector. In Paris in the early 1920s after working as an artist's model and road mender he was rescued from another spell in prison by Ezra Pound and Ford Madox Ford and became Ford's assistant on the pioneering modernist magazine, the Transatlantic Review.
