Synopsis

Andrew Hawthorne s second collection, 'They Become their Shadows', begins with the sequence, The Fall of Maiden Castle , where local ancient Britons made their last stand against the Romans. They remain present in the Dorset landscape, their voices mere whispers in the wind-blown grass . Many others also become their shadows and a whole range of characters, evoked with the author s characteristic sharp realism and surreal humour, haunt the mundane contemporary settings of a seaside town and The Cafe on the Side of Life . More personal poems evoke loss and moments of happiness. The collection as a whole gives a strong sense of a pressing, thick-textured, diffit life, in which all sorts of other people, even from far back in the past, cast long shadows.
