Overview
In this collection John Heath-Stubbs's newest poems revisit the sounds—since he is now blind—of his favorite landscapes. Spending his formative years in the rural countryside, he learned to identify birds by their song and sound, and here he uses that experience to make new discoveries in form and theme. Technically brilliant, this work is also playfully irreverent when it comes to human folly.Reviews
