The book

This collection amply reveals all that preoccupies Alastair Reid - with words and language, with love and the conflicts of time, and with the eccentric and the paradoxical. It also contains poems that demonstrate his international status as a translator - of Pacheco, Neruda and Borges. Already this volume has been widely acclaimed.

The Reviews

'I find myself unexpectedly jolted by a poem. Printed lines singing straight-forwardly into the heart's glass that rings in tune. Such poems are almost always by Alastair Reid, either his own or, quite often, translations.'
Naomi Mitchison, The Scotsman

'Best book of poems this year...get it, get it!'
John Wain, The Observer
