| "Cameron
died of a brain haemorrhage, as had his father and a younger
brother. Hope records that "A spontaneous, private funeral,
a kind of poet's wake, took place in a Greenwich Village Bar,
when word of his death reached Dylan Thomas and Ruthven Todd
in New York. They gathered as many of Cameron's poems as they
could find and took turns reading them aloud to a crowd of truck
drivers, longshoremen, painters, sculptors and writers, what
Todd described as 'a remarkably appreciative audience'."
It would be good to believe that this critical biography which
is a first-rate piece of work, will bring Cameron the enduring
appreciative audience so fine a poet deserves." |

| "My book
of the year has to be Norman Cameron: his life, work and
letters by Warren Hope. This is a wonderfully old-fashioned
biography (not a footnote in it) which at last does justice
to a poet who, as Hope says, wrote poems that are likely to
be read, reread and remembered for as long as the English language
lives." |
