The Months is a book of poems about time - not only the attritions
of time, its ageings, conflicts and illnesses, but also, and more
importantly, the kind of time the French philosopher Bergson called
'duration', a human time that speeds up or slows, expands and
contracts, measured by perceptual rather than scientific laws. At
the centre of the collection, the long title-poem interweaves
material from two pregnancies spanning two generations: these
months open themselves up to insecurities and dreams, culture,
myths, everyday realities and moments of fear or delight. The two
births that end this compelling narrative take the book in a new
direction, to a time and place where it is possible to stand still
and watch a saucepan drying on a draining-board or cycle round a
mountainous island at age sixty, laugh at oneself, or even begin
again.
