Más información sobre el libro

Spanning a writing career of over half a century, David Sutton has written poems which sing with the traditional values – clarity, lyric precision, an ear attentive to the nuances of form – allied to a sensibility desiring to communicate experience fully and intimately with the reader.Yet beneath the unfussiness, the refusual to be drawn into the wildernesses of pretension and obscurity, there lies a passionately engaged observer of the quotidian. These poems – eschewing the ficklenesses of poetic fashion – were written to last. Be the lyrics about love, loss or mortality, the joys and failings of personal relationships, the wonder of landscape and nature, Sutton’s poems are unified by the simple purpose of seeing it straight and saying it true.Taken together his poems present not just a formidable body of work but one demanding critical and popular attention.
