Pulling the best poems from various points in his early and later life, this collection celebrates previously published poems and offers new autobiographical pieces that explore the complexities of being and nonbeing experienced during bouts with illness in advanced age. Light and exuberant pieces reflecting the passions of youth and more mature pieces weighing on mortality are sure to satisfy readers of fine poetry and English literature, as well as those who will enjoy the author's long-awaited return to verse.

Paperback. Etat : New. "Third Day" is a selection from the poems Grey Gowrie has written between 1958 and the present day. At the centre of the book is the sequence "The Domino Hymn: Poems from Harefield", first published to great acclaim in 2005. This work draws on the best part of a year spent in hospital when the author, dying of a virus on the heart, was jolted back to life and writing by the surgical gift of a heart from a living donor. "Marches", poems of the post-operative years, follows, inspired by the country between England and Wales and the borderlands we all occupy between being and non-being. The book ends with "From Primrose Hill", a meditation on contemporary London. N° de réf. du vendeur LU-9781857549669
