Michael Hamburger's new collection gathers his shorter poems written since his `Collected Poems' of 1994. His strong and sinuous poems are alert to the intersections of past and present, of continuity and change. His searching form of nature poetry is informed, as Iain Galbraith put it in `PN Review', by `a language whose philosophical and metaphysical scope is unique in contemporary British poetry'.
