In this third collection of his poems, Irish poet Joseph Woods
again returns to the theme of travel, at once deepening and
expanding the concerns of his earlier work, while he also explores
the meaning of return and homecoming, of being abroad in one's own
place and of seeing the familiar from a new perspective.Childhood
memories and experiences are renewed and refreshed, the past and
the future echoing each other, from the child in the opening poem
"imagining myself in some ship's open hold / while Morse code
drifted in from the kitchen" to the closing poem where an old man
on "a wet lane of fuchsia-laden hedges / on the damp island of
Chilo " might have "stravaged out / of my country decades ago."
