Here at last is the selected poems of John Hilton. Among the sixty four poems within you will find a few poems that are cute and others that are terrifying. There are sad poems, happy poems, angry poems and even some funny ones. Many of them have stories to tell though most of the tellers are unreliable witnesses. The Act of Feeling is intended both as an introduction to his poetical works, taking in as it does most of the styles, voices and approaches he has used over the last three decades and also as a reasonably sized summation of his work to date.
