As if Catullus and Jarvis Cocker had conjoined with John Betjeman
to pen catty, racy, brilliantly-rhyming poem-portraits of an age
enthralled with gin, football, sex and surgery, Dhuga's debut
collection of poetry is a tour de force - echoing the formal
tautness of Muldoon, the observational nous of Larkin, the mordancy
of Eliot. Sinuous yet unfussy, hilarious yet heartbreaking, The
Sight Of A Goose Going Barefoot pushes at the boundaries of our
sentiments without succumbing to sentimentalism. It's no accident
that this book takes as its title a not, paradoxically, both dull
and extravagant, towards proverbs whose provenances, however
dubious, point up the painfully obvious as it obtains in the banal.
