In his nineties Philip Gross's father, a wartime refugee, began to
lose his several languages, first to deafness, then profound
aphasia. Deeply thought as well as deeply felt, these poems reach
into that gulf to find him - through recovery of histories both
spoken and unspoken as well as an excavation of the spoken word
itself. Readers who admired Philip Gross's subtlety and range in
his T.S. Eliot Prize-winning collection The Water Table will find
those qualities brought to a new human urgency in the compelling
sequences of Deep Field.A Poetry Society recommendation.
