The author says of this Selected: "This volume contains what I think of as the essential matter in my verse composition over two decades. I tend to compose in books, and didn''t want to disturb the integrity of my favourites: therefore Drumming & Poems, Intensive Care and 3600 Weekends are included in their entirety, as are the shorter sequences A4 Portrait and A4 Landscape. Erik Satie loved children, an early pamphlet, is also included, as I still think it''s quite sweet, and besides it was the first showing of what later evolved into my preferred procedures: cutting and splicing, juxtaposition, language play, composition by rhythm."

Poetry. In GOOD SCIENCE Edwards has written one of the truly powerful books of poetry to come out of England in the past ten years, linking many endeavors with the phenomenon of linguistic intrigue. In these days when American writers are battling over issues of how interruptive a poem should be, Edwards'' writing is what Iron magazine described as "somehow fluid and fractured at the same time." GOOD SCIENCE is an illuminating book. GOOD SCIENCE leaps over the shaggy dog of most contemporary poetry by transcending poetic license, elevating the writing beyond mere poetic concerns to a larger human scale.
