Timeslips

Overview

As the title "Timeslips" suggests, Anne Cluysenaar focuses on slippages of time, in landscape, and between different ways of life and language. The poems in this collection explore geological, evolutionary and historical change, concluding with the "Vaughan Variations". Here the life and Usk landscape of the poet Henry Vaughan provide themes for meditations on bilingualism, war, nature and the spiritual resources of poetic form.
