Reality Street published Bill Griffiths' Collected Earlier Poems (1966-80) in 2010. This successor volume collects work from the following decade, bringing back into print poetry that appeared in hard-to-obtain small editions or was previously uncollected or unpublished. Bill Griffiths was a poet, Anglo-Saxon scholar, book designer, small press publisher, biker, pianist, archivist and social historian. He died in 2007 at the age of 59.
