Overview
". . .the heart's tick-tock machine
rebuilds, rebuilds, rebuilds."
Bright, sharp, and elemental, the poems of Fiona Sampson's latest collection are of quiet attention and devastating clarity—paying full attention to slices of life and states of mind—delicately hewn patterns of patience and grace, exquisitely observed. Their lightness and dark hang perfectly balanced, their lucidity and understated power both remarkable and memorable. This is a collection that belongs to the shifting of seasons, not only in the subject matter but in the way the poems reveal a shift in style and method. Here is a masterwork of renewal, beauty, and risk, from a poet of formidable powers.
