Public Property was Andrew Motion's first collection of poetry
after being appointed Poet Laureate. In it, he negotiates the very
space of poetry, moving between private and public realms,
pondering each from the other's borders. In the opening series of
idylls he conjures the expeditionary narratives of a rural
childhood, in scenes as precisely remembered as they are
irretrievable. Elsewhere he reconsiders moments from the Victorian
past from reticent and surprising angles, and elsewhere again he
tackles distinctly contemporary themes and situations. The final
section of the book contains a number of elegies and love poems,
written in a variety of lyric forms, which provoke concerns that
are among the most critical in poetry: What is public art? To whom
do our most private sentiments belong?
