Under cover: a poet's life in publishing

As an independent publisher, Jeremy Robson always punched above his weight with a roster of authors that have been the envy of many large publishers.

As a poet, he has been at the centre of the poetry scene since the 1960s, with a number of highly praised volumes to his credit and the friendship of many leading poets and musicians.

In this engrossing memoir, Robson looks back at both his publishing career and life as a poet.

Stories abound; whether it be driving Muhammad Ali around Britain, coping with Michael Winner or working in the desert with David Ben-Gurion.
