Michael Hamburger's new collection gathers his shorter poems written
since his Collected Poems 1941-1994 of 1995. His strong and sinuous
poems are alert to the intersections of past and present, of continuity
and change. His searching form of nature poetry is informed, as Iain
Galbraith put it in PN Review, by 'a language whose philosophical and
metaphysical scope is unique in contemporary British poetry'.
