Tom Paulin

'The Road to Inver' gathers the verse translations of Tom Paulin from four decades, and brings together distinguished versions of classical and European poems which have appeared in his previous collections.

Thomas Hardy (1840-1928) was born in Dorset. He left school at sixteen to work as an apprentice for an architect who specialized in church restoration. He made his reputation as a novelist, and it wasn't until after the publication of his last novel, The Well-beloved, in 1897, that he dedicated himself to writing poetry.
