Short-listed for the T. S. Eliot Prize, the Forward Prize and the Los Angeles Times Book Prize. Selected as a TLS International Book of the Year. Lasdun's third collection of poetry, drawing on the Anglo-Jewish poet's transplanted life in the Catskill Mountains. Questions of exile and belonging figure prominently, as does the struggle to find a viable relationship with the natural world. "It would be hard to name a poet since Robert Lowell who has so tellingly mined the language's grit and glory." –J.D. McClatchy
