Looking Back (The ^AOxford Poets)

By Fleur Adcock

In the first part of this book, her first since Time Zones (OUP, 1991),Adcock looks at some of her ancestors, from relatively recent figures strugglingwith hardship and family tragedies in 19th-century Manchester, through rurallives in Midlands villages, to a few prominent heroes and villains inElizabethan and medieval times. In the second section she returns to morecontemporary subjects, such as sex and dreaming - familiar topics of thisunsettled but unsparing poet.
