'The lure of conclusion with no notion where to begin'. The idea of the end is an essential motivic force, even a place to begin, in the poetry of Geoffrey Hill (1932-2016). During his life, many echoed Harold Bloom's description of Hill as the 'greatest living poet in the English language'. Yet little has been written about the ends that Hill's poems forge; or those that they seek. This book shows Hill's poems are characteristically 'end-directed'. They tend towards consummations of all kinds: from the marriages of meanings in puns, or of words in repeating figures and rhymes, to syntactical and formal finalities. The recognition of failure to reach such ends provides its own impetus to Hill's work. This study of Hill's ends is, appropriately, the first to take account of Hill's last works: not only the concluding books collected in Broken Hierarchies: Poems 1952-2012, but also The Book of Baruch by the Gnostic Justin (2019). The book is a significant contribution to the study of Hill, offering a new thematic reading of his entire body of work. By using Hill's work as an example, the book also touches on questions of poetry's ultimate value. What do the technical and formal features of poems entail for their aesthetic finishedness; and for their final worth? What are poetry's ends and where does it wish to end up?
