Charged with strangeness and beauty, Hill of Doors is a haunted and
haunting book, where each successive poem seems a shape conjured
from the shadows, and where the uncanny is made physically present.
The collection sees the return of some familiar members of the
Robertson company, including Strindberg - heading, as usual,
towards calamity - and the shape-shifter Dionysus. Four loose
retellings of stories of the Greek god form pillars for the book,
alongside four short Ovid versions. Threaded through these are a
series of pieces about the poet's childhood on the north-east
coast, his fascination with the sea and the islands of Scotland.
However, the reader will also discover a distinct new note in
Robertson's austere but ravishing poetry: towards the possibility
of contentment - a house, a door, a key - finding, at last, a
'happiness of the hand and heart'. Magisterial in its command and
range, indelibly moving and memorable in its speech, Hill of Doors
is Robin Robertson's most powerful book to date.
