Eavan Boland has praised Grevel Lindop's 'lyric voice that handles
images well, that distinguishes - as few poets do - the erotic from
the sexual, that moves language in and out of metaphor with skill
and grace.' The erotic and the sexual are richly represented in
this new collection, whose subjects of celebration range from the
lemons in Robert Graves' garden to a blood-drinking Tibetan deity.
At its heart are a group of passionate love poems, and a sequence
set in an East London strip club, treated with the imaginative
insight and verbal skill that led R.V. Bailey, reviewing Lindop's
Selected Poems, to write that, 'All the tricks in the poet's bag
work for him as a master, so unobtrusively that it is only at the
second or third reading that you become aware that the thought and
feeling...are supported by an amazingly intricate web of sound.'
This new collection will enhance Lindop's reputation for
originality as well as for mastery of poetic tradition.
