This collection travels many paths and by-ways, beside some of
which lie burning cars, or a young man speechless on a forest
floor, or girls lost far from home. And there is a
lighthouse...Travellers pass along these ways, in the darkness, in
transit, hoping for safe passage through unknown territory. All are
imagined with what Sean O'Brien describes as Draycott's 'quizzical,
exultant, exact music'. The Night Tree is Jane Draycott's second
book of poems, following Prince Rupert's Drop, a Poetry Book
Society Recommendation short listed for the Forward Prize in 1999,
and two smaller collections, Tideway (Two Rivers Press, 2002,
illustrated by Peter Hay) and No Theatre (Smith/Doorstop) short
listed for the Forward Prize for Best First Collection 1997.
