Synopsis

In the words of Alan Riach, who introduces this wide-ranging new collection of Ian Brown's poems, 'This book begins and is made of gifts ...What comes from far past and happens every day, in encounters, with people, poems, works of art, in friendships and families, are gifts that make our lives what they are.' The volume includes familiar works, and songs and poems from the author's performed but not published plays - 'returning, revisiting, reconnecting, yet also the moving on into the new' - with the bulk of the poems being published here for the first time.
