Synopsis
Andrew Motion's first collection since his appointment as Poet Laureate moves between private and public realms, pondering each from the other's borders. In a series of elegiac idylls he conjures expeditionary narratives of a rural childhood - in scenes as precisely imagined as they are irretrievable - and reconsiders moments of the Victorian past from reticent and surprising angles. There are poems for vanished friends and public figures alike, variously expressed in lyric forms both extended and compact, provoking that most sensitive of concerns: what should we make public, what should be made public of us?

Review
'Motion is a beautiful lyricist, unpretentiously and precisely describing those things worth having even as he casts unsettling shadows across them.' Robert Potts, Guardian
About the Author
Andrew Motion was appointed Poet Laureate in 1999; he is Professor of Creative Writing at Royal Holloway College, University of London, and co-founder of the online Poetry Archive. He has received numerous awards for his poetry, and has published four celebrated biographies. His group study The Lamberts won the Somerset Maugham Award and his authorised life of Philip Larkin won the Whitbread Prize for Biography. Andrew Motion’s novella The Invention of Dr Cake (2003) was described as ‘amazingly clever’ by the Irish Times and praised for ‘brilliant and almost hallucinatory vividness’ by the Sunday Telegraph. His memoir, In the Blood (2006), was described as ‘the most moving and exquisitely written account of childhood loss I have ever read’ in the Independent on Sunday.
