description: Here is an exiled poet in an English seaside asylum, a winter night spent in the spooky penthouse suite of Ceausescu's vanished daughter, and a scientist trying to calculate the heart's square root. Londoner Nick Drake's debut collection portrays and celebrates a richly varied cast of characters. "He deserves careful attention as one of the poets likeliest to maintain England's ever-transshifting but still splendid poetic tradition."--Harvard Review
