Synopsis

Nigel Wells' poems are immediately striking for their verbal texture and rhythmic life. They are at once rich and spare, terse and elaborate. He creates a word music rather akin to traditional folk music in its quick, intricate rhythms and its lightness of step. But this achieved texture, the ground that the poem has won, is a stepping-off point. The poems create a transition from the natural world into the imaginative world. Wells uses myth as one of the available charts of the territory, but myth is remade in the process. His reworking of ancient ground is fresh and highly individual.
