Paperback. Condition: Very Good. "Cross-currents" contains forty-two essays written for "Poetry Nation Review" at the invitation of its editor, Michael Schmidt, and published in the magazine as an unbroken series between 1995 and 2003. Some of them chronicle events and issues relating to those years: all have poetry at their centre, while covering a wide range of other subjects. These include film, music and contemporary art: and there are also accounts of visits to Saint Petersburg, Bosnia, the Orkneys and Venice. The essays take their bearings not only from English literature, but also from French, German, American, Czech and Russian writers: the question which runs throughout is the fundamental one of value. The approach is associative and personal; the aim, to present a lively and companionable stimulus to the reader's own thinking. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Lawrence Sail's poetry is noted for its scrupulous combination of close observation and broader reflections. In Guises he builds on the strengths of twelve previous collections, writing 'in praise of perception', which brings its own challenges and delights, embodied in the shifts and layers of language. A sense of the precious and the precarious informs poems with widely differing subjects and settings. There is, too, a new awareness of the threat to the sumptuousness of the natural world posed by human profligacy. Sounding the provisional nature of our earth-bound experiences, Sail knows the closeness of eulogy to elegy, and his poems celebrating the immediacy of human affections and experience sit aptly alongside those remembering friends who have died. Forty-six years on from the publication of Sail's first book, Guises offers the fruits of fullness. Lawrence Sail is one of Britain's most distinguished poets. Forty-six years on from the publication of his first book, Guises offers the fruits of fullness. His poetry explores belief and doubt, memory and imagination, art and perception, the loss of friends and the state of our ailing planet.

Paperback. Condition: New. Lawrence Sail's new collection encompasses a striking variety of subjects. He reflects on detail in the natural world, both in micro- and macrocosm, looking for example at flowers, birds, the sea, the earth seen from space; he explores the intricacies and balances of love and family relationships; he finds new resonances in the paintings of David Bomberg, Howard Hodgkin and Paul Klee, and affinities in his translations of Mallarme, Rilke and Trakl. His imaginative scope extends into a sequence of prose poems responding powerfully to Gabriel Faure's nine Preludes for piano. Throughout the collection, close attention to the physical world is paired with the perceptions such careful consideration provokes. Often this embodies a duality - instances of love carry the shadow of grief; a beached boat evokes the horizon; a book is both an object and an emblem of lost authority; the fragment of a Roman carving suggests wholeness restored. Above all, there is in Sail's writing a celebration of the world, its preciousness magnified by the ways in which he takes the measure of what appears in the title poem as 'all that lasts, / all that is gone', the juxtaposition of the transient and the enduring.
