Subtle, artful, and intimate, the themes of these poems encompass
many aspects of contemporary life, especially postwar music. With
deftness and insight they move from places of stasis and memory,
through the uneasy proximities of love captured in the moody jazz
trumpet of the title poem, out to the uncharted spaces that loss
and death can create. These arresting confessional poems are
equally adept at exploring the songs of Elvis Costello and Jacques
Brel, bizarre BBC sound effects, Shakespeare's most famous stage
direction, and the films of Fellini and Marilyn Monroe, as they are
at reflecting on the more mundane details of a bad day at the
computer, garden bonfires, or the texture of toast.
