Tony Curtis' wide-ranging interests in visual art, the impact of
war and the nature of friendship coallese in his latest collection,
"Crossing Over". A number of the poems take their inspiration from
great artists, from early religious icons to expressionist
canvasses, from a 'buttery girl' in a Flemish Landscape to the
chainsaw sculptures of David Nash. This book includes two
thoughtful and beautiful war poems, including the title piece, a
moving tribute to World War Two Veterans on a D-Day memorial
excursion. There are also a series of sumptuous poems about
travelling, including "Postcards from Tuscany" where the lush
beauty of the landscape contrasts with the poet's mood, saddened by
the death of a friend. There are several succinct sonnets about
California, on subjects as various as vagrants in San Francisco and
the stunning cliff-face walls in Yosemite National Park. A sonnet
about his granddaughter opens this varied and striking collection
which shows a poet writing at the top of his game.
