Description
This is a mighty book of Norths: northern geographies, histories, lights; a place of definition, frost and cold.
There is an unfaltering Recusant spirit about these poems, a survival through defeat and a sense of underlying permanences. Each poem has an occasion: some of the occasions are personal meetings, conversations, which unlock shared scenes and themes; some are historical in origin, their past often one of early Christian faith or religious conflict.
The poems abound in art, in specific lived detail, particulars of landscape, and in a harsh weather which is not unlike time itself in its effect on the living and ageing imagination.
Each poem requires a different metre, a different pace; each form is carefully attuned to its occasion.
