In the Becoming: Selected and New Poems

0/5 ( ratings)

Since the publication of his first collection, Rough Seas, in 1987, Tom Pow has been recognized as one of Scotland's foremost contemporary poets; lyrical, celebratory and sensitive to the world around him. In the Becoming: Selected and New Poems, draws on Pow's work over the last two decades, from Rough Seas to his latest book, Dear Alice: Narratives of Madness , including poems from Sparks!, his poetic correspondence with Diana Hendry, and Transfusion, his praise poem for Muhammad Ali and Nelson Mandela. The collection charts his ongoing poetical concerns: an exploration of landscape from the rainforest to the Arctic; an interest in how history and narrative shape our understanding of the present; and, in the new poems, a maturing engagement with those large themes that lie at the heart of Pow's poetry, namely love and death. In the Becoming offers a timely reading of one of the finest poets of his generation.
