Overview

This poetry collection moves seamlessly between the local and the universal, the humble earth and the stars. Peter Scupham is as much a master of the great memorializing sequence--about his parents, his wartime childhood, or his National Service days--as of the hauntingly evocative lyric. Even when his themes are at their most personal, they are interwoven with endless threads of history and memory. Although he learned his craft from the great 20th-century formalists such as Auden and Graves, his own voice is inimitable: shrewdly observant, wryly reflective, and sometimes very funny. He is an eloquent love poet, an incomparable elegist, and a devastating parodist.
