Sinopsis
To "swither" means to suffer indecision or doubt, but there is no faltering in these poems; any uncertainty is not in the lines or the sounds or the images, but only in the themes of flux and change and transformation that thread their way through this powerful third collection. Robin Robertson has written a book of remarkable cohesion and range that calls on his knowledge of folklore and myth to fuse the old ways with the new. From raw, exposed poems about the end of childhood to erotically charged lyrics about the end of desire, from a brilliant retelling of the metamorphosis and death of Actaeon to the final freeing of the waters in "Holding Proteus," these are close examinations of nature--of the bright epiphanies of passion and loss. At times sombre, at times exultant, Robertson's poems are always firmly rooted in the world we see, the life we experience: original, precise, and startlingly clear.

Post-brexit buyers from the EU need to be aware that they may be charged import duty, VAT and customs and/or EU courier handling charges which will be collected by the European courier/mail service in that EU country prior to delivery or collection of books or other goods. This is in addition to the shipping charge which is collected by the seller at confirmation of an order and is the cost of shipping from the UK and currently does not include taxes and charges originating in the EU. These latter taxes and charges differ from country to country and are also dependent on the value of the item/order. In some cases it may be cost-effective to ship books from multiple orders independently of each other.
