Synopsis

The consoling cattle in Chris Preddle's second collection can be seen from his kitchen window in Holme, West Yorkshire. These poems are often grounded among local friends and the local moors, but expand into a far larger cultural space that takes in Gilgamesh, the Greeks, medieval monks, courtly love, music, modernism, the golden ratio, compost bins, James Bond and Caterpillar tractors.Their serious concern is a search for values; they consider love, friendship, art, politics and the present, in the face of uncertainty, unstable selfhood and mortality. Chris Preddle puts rhythmic, unmetred lines into traditional forms, with ingenious pararhyme. His words, and the poems they form, relate to each other persistently with slants and angles of sound and meaning. Above all, these poems are witty, erudite, sardonic, grave, civilised and humane.
