| Description: |
"A Painted Field" - Robin Robertson's first collection was published in 1997. The poems in "Slow Air" describe the arc of loss, the search for grace, and the radiance and shadows of the natural world, the work pitching its embattled romanticism and lyric weight, against fear, grief and erasure. |
| Synopsis: |
Another powerful collection from the poet who launched the Picador poetry list; Robin Robertson's new collection reveals the same talent we saw in his debut, A Painted Field. His main subject is his own detached, fierce, Scottish eye: on landscape and sea, on love, sex, and violence. He uses language brilliantly-deadpan, tense, precise; unforgiving. Robin Robertson's first collection won the Forward Prize for Best First Collection and really launched the Picador poetry list. It received tremendous reviews and Robin is a very well known name both as a poetry editor (at Jonathan Cape) and a poet in his own right. He is guaranteed coverage in the national press and should be very popular as a reader at festivals. |
