Synopsis

The publication of Alexander Theroux's collected poems will be one of the literary events of the year. Here is a cornucopia of sonnets, odes, ballads, free verse, triolets, dramatic monologues and ruminations on love and death in fierce, lyrical style. Taken altogether they contrive to make up a record of the author's deepest thoughts and reflect the dramatis personae of his life. Theroux captures in his work those rare, frail and precious truths that would otherwise have vanished. His intensity of observation and invention is a marvel to behold.
