Second Sight is a masterly work by a poetic craftsman in full command of his art. The poems in this volume offer a review of the life of the poet, the chance for 'second sight' of the remarkable, the ordinary, the fleeting, and the timeless. The poetry of Christopher Ringrose is joyful, self-deprecating, funny, and deeply moving. This is a collection which offers its gifts with generosity, wit, and extraordinary skill.
