Textual Possessions

By Peter Philpott

'Textual Possessions' is Peter Philpott's first poetry collection for many years. He has always been noted for his work in longer forms, above all the poem-sequence, and this volume brings together three such long sequences written over the past ten years: "In the Present Historic Sense", a wonderful poem of place that concerns itself with the author's native North-West Somerset, plus "On Being Voiced", and "An Encounter Upon the Beach at Minehead With the Prince of This World".
