I just bought used copies of Conjure and Safest from Abebooks U.K. for just over $20 for the two of them. The Collected Poems was out of my price range--about 60 bucks. There's a volume that puts together his first two collections, and it doesn't cost that much, but I don't know what the earlier collections might be like compared to the later ones. I already know I really really like at least some of the poems in Conjure
Katy or Tim or someone: how does the early Donaghy compare to the later work? Did it change a lot, get better, get worse, or . . .
