Springing from ordinary events, or a picture, or an aspect of the
priestly life, David Scott's beautifully restrained poems work up the
detail into a moment of significance.

They are rooted in an English culture which is found not only in
locality, but also in understatement, and the sideways look. But his
poetry has wider reverberations, exploring spirituality and ways of
praying as well as momentary glimpses of meaning caught in everyday
life.
