Like any self-respecting cloud, the words of this, Dent's latest
volume, have occasion to slip into and out of focus as well as flit
between meanings. To recognise such moments is to ensure we are
party to an intrigue more about delight and imagination than
dissecting (or, heaven help us, directing) a life. An eye for
weather (physical / mental) is a cannier companion here than any
Baedeker or mind that frets. To be fully present within the action
of the text is to see that what we'd first interpreted as 'the
finishing line' was, shockingly, 'birds migrating'. The mind is
vulnerable, matter is contrary, life is in a state of flux. 'Skip
all that tosh about modelling clouds: for every big storm / or soul
in torment, I've a shedful of u/s machinery.' This resourceful and
energetic new collection acknowledges not just the world we (think
we) know but the many and various others. Being here, being
reactive to 'all that is', is key.
