A prose work in 23 sections, mislaid for 35 years and then found in an
attic, this is a classic Raworth text from the era of Logbook: fast,
profound, knockabout, intense, tricky, brainy, daft, those were the
days once again…

Main description: Earn Your Milk contains all the uncollected prose
works of Tom Raworth, gathering together Letters from Yaddo, The Vein
and Letter to Martin Stannard with his uncategorizable prose-work A
Serial Biography, an extraordinary assembly memoir and reportage. This
invaluable collection now makes widely available work which was
previously hard to obtain or long out of print, it will delight fans
as well as general readers wanting to discover more about one of the
UK’s most widely-celebrated poets.
Tom Raworth was born in London just before the Second World War and
has done everything wrong since. For half-a-century he has printed,
published, translated and written poetry; has occasionally taught in
several countries; and has read his own work and performed with other
artists all over the world. He has a taste for spicy food from his
father’s service in Burma and a quick temper from his Irish mother. He
is at the moment of no fixed abode. In 2007, in Modena, he was awarded
the Antonio Delfini Prize for “lifetime career achievement” though as
he remarks “he is not yet dead.”
