'Poetry was always a natural thing to me, part of letter-writing
and simply another way of responding to the world'. Thus the author
prefaces this substantial new collection of poems, in strict form
and in free verse, including a number published previously - in
'The Counting Stick', 'A Share of the Wind', and 'Amoretti', all
published by Aquila Press, or in anthologies and magazines - some
of them 're-appearing' here with revisions. Informing this fresh
view of his work are three of his father's 'Six Sea Poems'. The
collection is introduced by Alan Riach, who describes 'the world
John Purser makes for us in his poems, as in his music and his
scholarship' as 'archipelagic, characterised by diversity and
depths, bright sunlit perceptions and profundities of insight into
the nature of the earth itself, and as far out as the music of the
spheres permits us ...'.
