There is an unfaltering Recusant spirit about these poems, a survival through defeat and a sense of underlying permanences.Each poem has an occasion: some of the occasions are personal meetings, conversations, which unlock shared scenes and themes; some are historical in origin, their past often one of early Christian faith or religious conflict. The poems abound in art, in specific lived detail, particulars of landscape, and in a harsh weather which is not unlike time itself in its effect on the living and ageing imagination. Each poem requires a different metre, a different pace; each form is carefully attuned to its occasion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40537561530465,"sku":"9781800172630","price":9.52,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_35897620_acf038ad-bd21-49cb-8caf-73824e427594.jpg?v=1756932692","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781800172630-arctic-elegies","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
