by Dan Burt
Paperback / softback
- Information
Description
A History is an elegiac 10-poem sequence, written about and in memory of Jill Robinson, a vital and continual presence in the poet’s life for almost seven decades, until her death from cancer in 2018.
Burt’s eye is acute, unsentimental, and self-critical, unflinching in its depiction of illness, and unrequited love.
His language has a Yeatsian severity, charged by vulnerability and an acute and expansive historical awareness. Published to coincide with his personal-political memoir Every Wrong Direction (Carcanet), A History is a major work from a writer whose life story and poetic sensibility takes us to places not often captured in poetry.
