Lawrence Sail's poetry is noted for its scrupulous combination of
close observation and broader reflections. In Guises he builds on
the strengths of twelve previous collections, writing 'in praise of
perception', which brings its own challenges and delights, embodied
in the shifts and layers of language. A sense of the precious and
the precarious informs poems with widely differing subjects and
settings. There is, too, a new awareness of the threat to the
sumptuousness of the natural world posed by human profligacy.
Sounding the provisional nature of our earth-bound experiences,
Sail knows the closeness of eulogy to elegy, and his poems
celebrating the immediacy of human affections and experience sit
aptly alongside those remembering friends who have died. Forty-six
years on from the publication of Sail's first book, Guises offers
the fruits of fullness.
