In her fourth collection, Exile and the Kingdom, Hilary Davies
embarks on pilgrimage - poetic, religious, psychological. Using a
dazzling interplay of narrative and lyric line, she travels through
real and imagined territory in search of answers to the great
questions which preoccupy us as human beings. In 'Rhine Fugue' the
poet follows the river that both unites and divides Europe,
conjuring an impressive sweep of history that includes the Wars of
Religion, the Jewish tradition, the upheavals of the twentieth
century, the hope for peace. Two lyric sequences evoke the spirit
of the Lea Valley in London, where Hilary Davies lives, and the
spirit of her late husband, the poet Sebastian Barker, while
'Across Country' and 'Exile and the Kingdom' chart the journey of
the individual soul through darkness and confusion to a hard-won
and complex faith.
