The Late Sun asserts a balance between memorialisation of the
recently dead and celebration of the vitality of the living. Early
in the collection is a set of poems about the poet's mother, who
died in great age after a life of exotic travel, and the poet's own
travels, his sense of both place and displacement, are vibrantly
explored in other pieces. The city where he lives - particularly,
and somewhat unusually, in a sequence titled 'Smells of London' -
provides many of the themes, but the civic glades and sparkling
vistas of the Mediterranean are just as important, and the book
adds up to an affirmation of international perspectives at a time
when civilised values are increasingly threatened.
