The Lord sent the Children of Israel into Canaan, the enemy's country, to topple the idols worshiped there. Instead they settled among the heathen, forgot their Lord, and made themselves slaves to earthly pleasures. For Geoffrey Hill, England, indeed all"this common Europe" has become a second Canaan, a land whose people have squandered their inheritance, betrayed their higher selves, and are daily "stained with their own works," where "Evil is not good's absence but gravity's/everlasting bedrock." Hill's passionate and resistant poetry renews the struggle to redeem that land.

Review:
"Among our finest poets, Geoffrey Hill is at present the most European - in his Latinity, in his dramatization of the Christian condition, in his political intensity." -- George Steiner

"Art of the highest lyric intensity . . . it stands with the work of Mandelstam and Montale." Boston Globe
"Among our finest poets, Geoffrey Hill is at present the most European - in his Latinity, in his dramatization of the Christian condition, in his political intensity." -- George Steiner
