Synopsis
The Properties of Things continues David Solway's explorations in the realm of fictive translation, this time that of the obscure thirteenth century scholar Bartolomaeus Anglicus. The result is a poetic alphabetary, ranging from the bawdy to the sublime.
David Solway has been called "an internationalist of the imagination." He remains one of the country's most brilliant and inventive poets.
