Graham is best known for his long poem The Nightfishing 1955, and for the poems contained in the volumes Malcolm Mooneys Land 1970 and Implements in Their Places 1977, explorations of language and community which move easily between playful charm and deep feeling. The exuberant wordplay of his early work, owing something to both Dylan Thomas and James Joyce, is currently unfashionable, but worth rediscovering.
