". . .the heart's tick-tock machine rebuilds, rebuilds, rebuilds." Bright, sharp, and elemental, the poems of Fiona Sampson's latest collection are of quiet attention and devastating clarity--paying full attention to slices of life and states of mind--delicately hewn patterns of patience and grace, exquisitely observed. Their lightness and dark hang perfectly balanced, their lucidity and understated power both remarkable and memorable. This is a collection that belongs to the shifting of seasons, not only in the subject matter but in the way the poems reveal a shift in style and method. Here is a masterwork of renewal, beauty, and risk, from a poet of formidable powers.
