The first edition of English Nettles brought together poems Peter
Robinson began writing on his return to England after many years
living in Japan. The twenty-three works, evocatively illustrated by
Sally Castle, show the poet's ability to catch at fleeting
landscapes and moments as, discovering Reading, he reacquainted
himself with his native land. The poems celebrate his collaboration
with the artist in their tribute to the place in which he came to
settle. This beautifully redesigned new edition brings the book
back into print, and includes an additional poem and illustration.
Running through their lines like the town's two arteries are
oblique reflections on the meaning of home, the nature of money,
work, love, death, and parenthood. Approachable yet inexhaustible,
Peter Robinson's poetry welcomes readers and promises rewards that
can be kept.
