From its opening page - a refugee's first sight of England -
Changes of Address presents a journey through our times, a search
for the meaning of 'home'. With its humour and deep honesty, its
vivid storytelling, its sense of history and brilliant observations
of the here and now, this book of poems is as rich and
multi-layered as a novel. It brings together for the first time the
whole range of Philip Gross's poetry from the 1980s and 90s - a
generous selection from his Bloodaxe, Faber and Peterloo
collections along with uncollected poems and work from limited
editions and collaborations. Changes of Address shows his
development from the prize-winning Ice Factory to the
Whitbread-shortlisted Wasting Game, but takes the reader also into
previously unknown reaches of Philip Gross territory. It does not
cover his later work. He won the T.S. Eliot Prize for his 2009
collection The Water Table. Poetry Book Society Special
Commendation.
