Synopsis


The poems in Tony Curtis s new collection are woven out of his fascination with the everyday, the quirky, and the downright extraordinary.

These are poems wrapped up in love and death, friendship and memory, madness and music from the blind man singing in a field, to his three Cistercian uncles singing plainchant. There are people at the heart of everything he writes. Curtis is a born storyteller, and these are poems crafted by a poet with a wonderful ability to express great depth of feeling with deceptive simplicity.
