Matthew Mead's second collection of poems will hold the attention of all who found in his `Identities' (1967) an exciting consummation of his concern with `our time', with poetic experiment, and with `the single poetic theme'. `His poems speak soberly of the essential things of our time,' wrote Christopher Middleton; and Derek Parker commented in the `Poetry Review' `... Mead's poems are carved out of intractable material, unlikely to warp with time. If they have not a permanent place, then the pressure of fashion is greater than one hopes.'
