Andrew McNeillie is an editor at Oxford University Press andthe author of Nevermore and Now, Then, Slower.
Joyful, elegiac, and immediate, these lyric and oftencelebratorypoems engage personal and natural history, nation-states and mental states, violence, religion, and poetry itself. An ecologically focused collection, each poem affirms life as all-becoming, dwelling on metaphors such as mountains and valleys, the changing seasons, and the vastness of the sea. Divided into two partsSong in Winter,” a collection of unrepentantly self-indulgent verse, and ?At Sea,” containing extended tributes to George Campbell, W. S. Graham, J. M. Synge, and others?these astonishing poems, taken as a whole, work against formalities while maintaining a fluid rhyming structure.
