About the book

Poetry. "One of poetry's old hands, Bill Griffiths, uses fewest words to best effect. A visit to Durham goal is related as well as conveyed, apprehension palpable in the memories provoked, in stories minimalistically alluded to. Language is at times invented, always wrung out, each word examining its own use"--Sam Smith, New Hope International Review On-Line. This new collection from Bill Griffiths features a series of composite texts and a world of subject material, from Astor in the New World to Cuthbert in the Anglo-Saxon North East, via rural scenes, metropolitan furnishing, a garnish of top vegetables and a prison visit. Can poetry cope with any subject matter? In three decades of published poetry Bill Griffiths has never stopped trying to find out.-Google Books
