description: Poet and translator Neil Curry's long-awaited new collection, his fourth, has a colloquial ease that suits the poet's narrative tendency. The opening poem introduces a recurring image of the sea-shore, and demonstrates Curry's profound engagement with nature. Elsewhere a fascination with man's influence over nature, from Eden to the Alhambra, results in a beautiful sequence of Marvell-like garden poems. ""A poet after my own heart."" -Amy Clampitt.
