Title: Elsewhere
Description: "Stewart Brown's poems encompass Africa, the Caribbean, Wales and England; to the sweep of imperial history and its painful aftermath and to the intimacies of domestic life. He writes of Africa and the Caribbean with a rare combination of sympathy, honesty and inwardness, while never pretending to be other than an Englishman abroad. He writes affectionately but without sentiment of 'ordinary' English life from the perspective of one who has been elsewhere, in ways which allow us to see it afresh." "But if these poems have a passionate concern with love, politics, history and the natural world, they are no less concerned with the shaping power of art, both as a subject and in the poems' own formation."--BOOK JACKET.
