The Private Zoo

0/5 ( ratings)

A new collection of poems providing insights into the lives of birds, reptiles and sea-life. This work deals with the complexities of human understanding, awareness of the environment and how we identify ourselves in regard to one another within a personal odyssey from sea to sea - Venice to Florida and back to his front door in Fife. Water is their element - seen through, reflecting, unstable but, momentarily, readable - and the poems themselves are effortlessly readable. Their language is idiomatic, fresh, enjoyable. It is also subtle, always on the verge of giving way. These supple poems are political about man and his environments and, like water, they change perspectives and they have depth. - Desmond Graham.
