This is a mighty book of Norths: northern geographies, histories,
lights; a place of definition, frost and cold. There is an
unfaltering Recusant spirit about these poems, a survival through
defeat and a sense of underlying permanences. Each poem has an
occasion: some of the occasions are personal meetings,
conversations, which unlock shared scenes and themes; some are
historical in origin, their past often one of early Christian faith
or religious conflict. The poems abound in art, in specific lived
detail, particulars of landscape, and in a harsh weather which is
not unlike time itself in its effect on the living and ageing
imagination. Each poem requires a different metre, a different
pace; each form is carefully attuned to its occasion.
