Whether in the Venetian footsteps of Vivaldi, at the birth of the Owen and Sassoon violins or the score of a Sam Peckinpah film, these poems present a wealth of musical scenarios, all interconnected in their themes, tonality and form. Their reverberations reach across time and space, from England and Italy to the Australian outback, with the visual arts also in the mix. And yet the core of this book is deeply personal, the poet present as a ten-year-old boy, lover, grandfather - or anachronisti
This debut collection is more than a decade in the making from a poet who composes with impressive scholarly attention, while remaining delighted in language and scene-making.
Collection of Romantic Poems of a Romantic Nature
