Description: "In his new collection of poems, Dick Davis, the acclaimed author of Belonging, addresses themes that he has long worked with?travel, the experience of being a stranger, the clash of cultures, the vagaries of love, the pleasures and epiphanies of meaning that art allows us. But A Trick of Sunlight introduces a new theme that revolves around the idea of happiness?is it possible, must it be illusory, is its fleetingness an essential part of its nature so that disillusion is inevitable?" -- publisher website (September 2006).
