Additional information
The central sequence envisages the poems almost as 'folk' songs combined into 'sets': two poems spliced together to create thematic couplings on the page. The pieces explore issues of family, fatherhood, mortality, and another 'folk' standard - the impact of war. The first section of the book dwells on the lives of artists - encounters with a lyricist, poets, a reader. The final section includes two poems that act as refrains in terms of what has come before, echoing themes illuminated elsewhere in the collection.
