A Doctor's Aim: Memoir of a London Surgeon describes one hospital doctor's fifty years in medicine and surgery.

Focusing on six influential poets who are also critics, Peter McDonald presents a provocative analysis of twentieth-century British and Irish poetry. He examines W. B. Yeats, T. S. Eliot, W. H.

By revisiting these elements, McDonald challenges conventional interpretations and highlights the significance of difficulty in their poetry.
