Of Enright's 1987 Collected Poems (OUP) Gavin Ewart wrote in The Observer: 'Anybody at all interested in English poetry should read this book. It has in it the best autobiographic sequence written this century... It also contains... some of the wittiest and wryest comment on the modern world to be written in our time'
