Eric Gregory Award Winner The poems in Antler stalk their quarry
over difficult ground. Prehistoric landscapes blend with genuine
and imaginary anthropology; the real world becomes distorted
through the dark mirrors of folktale and myth; fraudsters, liars,
and con-men lurk perpetually in the shadows. This panorama is
emotional, too, most vividly in the collection's centrepiece: the
sequence 'Vaisala and Sinuhe', charting an astronomy professor's
infatuation with one of his postgraduate students, who may or may
not be a werewolf. Pared-down, playful and often very funny,
Clegg's poetry keeps faith with what is tactile and tangible (moss,
leather, bone), distilling plainspoken diction, luminous imagery
and a unique worldview into lines which remain in the head for a
long while after the book has been closed.
