A remarkable sequence of peoms by one of the UK's leading poets.
In these poems an instinctive, lyrical connection to the natural world opens the way to an imaginative and spiritual freedom — as an inherited, doctrinaire explanation of existence is overwhelmed by and abandoned to the wonder of living in the mystery and truth of nature, seeing and touching an incarnation with nothing to reveal but itself.
‘For my money, John Burnside is by far the best British poet alive.’ - Cressida Connolly, The Spectator
John Burnside is one of the UK's foremost poets. His 2011 collection, Black Cat Bone, won both the Forward prize and the T.S. Eliot Prize. His most recent book collection is Learning to Sleep. He has also written several novels and two memoirs. Essays and non-fiction include The Music of Time: Poetry in the Twentieth Century (2019), and Aurochs and Auks: Essays on Mortality and Extinction (2021).
