Description: Duncan Forbes established his reputation with August Autumn (Secker & Warburg, 1984) and Public & Confidential (Enitharmon, 1989). This new collection of fifty poems demonstrates again his elegant use of verse forms, his wit and his sensitivity to the physical world; it amply justifies Anthony Thwaite's assessment of Forbes as 'a poet of many moods: elegiac, hedonistic, flippant, caustic, comically fanciful and wistfully puzzled.'.
