| Description: |
A collection that opens with a gathering of lyrics and descriptive poems: observing rites of passage (elegies and wedding poems), offering nuanced accounts of places and their patchwork afterlives (the Midlands and a Suffolk sketchbook), or meditations on historical figures introspectively at odds with their time (King Canute and Edward Thomas). |
| Synopsis: |
Lachlan MacKinnon's fourth collection opens with a gathering of lyrics and descriptive poems: observing rites of passage (elegies and wedding poems), offering nuanced accounts of places and their patchwork afterlives (the Midlands and a Suffolk sketchbook), or meditations on historical figures introspectively at odds with their time (King Canute and Edward Thomas). This preoccupation with contingency - personal and historical - opens onto "The Book of Emma": a long poem of fifty-four sections, written mostly in prose, which address a lost friend and contemporary in terms which seem laconically factual, but which draw their power from archaic conventions (Egyptian and Celtic) of talking to the dead. |
