These new poems, most of them written over the last eight or nine
years, are as varied and as captivating as ever more of that
inimitable Betjeman counterpoint that makes a new collection an
occasion: places, human encounters, meditations, entertaining
verbal fisticuffs with public hates, threnodies on lost friends,
and the pensive regard of familiar vistas that now draw their
warmth and color from nearer horizons. The poet Philip Larkin wrote
in The Guardian "Almost alone among living poets he is in the best
sense a committed writer, whose poems spring from what he really
feels about real life, and as a result he brings back to poetry a
sense of dramatic urgency it had all but lost."
