Roddy Lumsden's Terrific Melancholy is a book of changes, physical
and emotional. It begins with a diverse sequence on that most
dubious and folkloric of changes, rebirth into a new life,
exploring our history's advances - changeless, changeful.
Meanwhile, in the lengthy title-poem, an actor's reluctant crush on
a younger colleague leads him to look back on life from middle age,
while the poet himself does the same during travels in the USA.
This is Lumsden's sixth collection and it also contains a
miscellany of new poems which display the writer's acclaimed
inventiveness with form and structure and his breadth of
approaches: satire, listing, praise poems and a new form, the
'ripple poem', which develops the use of 'fuzzy' rhyme.
