A stunning collection of original work, Losing the Language confirms David Stephens as a major poetic talent. His poems, with their clear and distinctive voice, provide a breath of fresh air in the stuffy halls of English contemporary verse.
The range is illuminating; the scope scintillates. Throughout the forty years of poetry collected here, certain underlying ideas, values, tenets hold true. Above all, David Stephens engages and what an engagement! Essentially human, wonderfully diverse, recognisable: his poetry speaks to us directly.
The new interpretations of classical Chinese poetry fit. They are simply integral to the work, and are a model of clarity; a limpid perfection.
