Sinopsis

The poems in Adam Thorpe?s latest collection are concerned with the continuum between two worlds: the lived present and the felt past. With the attentive care of an archaeologist he uncovers and examines fragments - from a personal history or the historic past - and rebuilds the narrative: a fossil in Hitler?s stadium a wedding photograph marks on the wall where an eighteenth-century priest was shot. With formal dexterity and rhythmic assurance these versatile subtle poems investigate the vertiginous dynamic of history - where a shard of stone stands for civilisation where a silver of memory becomes a life re-lived. After nine years during which time he has emerged as one of Britain?s most powerful and innovative novelists Adam Thorpe now returns - triumphantly - to poetry.
