David Starkey's "A Few Things You Should Know About the Weasel" is
a far ranging and fearless collection, of great humour and
intelligence and sympathy. Ranging through philosophy and art and
history - both global and domestic - these poems skillfully
chronicle the darkness that is our current age and condition, and
the pinpricks of light that may show us the way out. When a poem
called 'Hitler's Art' begins 'I hate to admit it, but he wasn't
bad', you know the poet isn't afraid to look at anything. The great
philosophers weave in and out of these poems, hand in hand with the
great criminals, and David Starkey is a step behind them, missing
nothing. There's a dark joy to this book; it's feverish and
beautiful, 'a glimmering aria', as one poem says, 'to everything
that's yet to go wrong'.
