George Gunn’s writing is distinctive, with an urgent sense of people and place. This selection from his previously published poems plus eleven new ones continues to reveal an imagination that, while rooted in a physical and metaphorical Northerly Land, roams widely and forages keenly across a local, national, international, global and ultimately cosmic territory of natural beauty, personal relationships, social injustice and political idiocy. The powerful new work that closes the collection includes poems for Osip Mandelshtam (1891-1938), Alexander Hutchison (1943-2015), Derek Walcott (1930-2017) and the people of Aleppo.
