Customer Reviews

Poetry as a personal science, I have never read better.

These poems are long, their structure is rigid; they are written with the discipline of an engineer and the eye of a scientist; they are lyrical and beautiful, they are literary and intelligent; they deal in a single turn with tremendously huge issues of this world and the next, and with the implicitly small - the minutae of life and love. i have never read anyone, who writes so well about his love for science, music and women, with equal depth, vigour and scrutiny. And he's got an amazing beard. This is his most accessable anthology it includes, "Passing Between Doorways (?)" which is included in The Faber Book of Scottish Poetry, 1994 (ed. Douglas Dunn) and the one about notes on a book of photographs included in Some Contemporary British Poets, 1984 (ed, Micheal Schmidt). His other books "Bad day" and "Ridiculous Absurd" are amazing too.
