Overview
Wide ranging but acutely observed poetry collection filled with empathy and aware of the fragility of existence.
''For we are all of the dust of stars, reborn hunter and hunted, to soar splay-winged across the moon or shadow the lonely light of angler fish.’ The final lines from the opening poem in David Underdown’s new collection hint at what is to follow, poems that range from the cosmic to the domestic, but all characterised by acute observation. The reader will also find a sense of the surreal and, above all, an empathy and relish for the many oddities and poignancies of existence. The book concludes with a sequence of poems dedicated to ‘the grandfather I never knew.’
