Clear Night in Oxfordshire Gemini shifts above me down the lane Late Life The tedium of old age. Read books, smile at grandchildren, Dark Street Curving Where does the difficulty lie? – The long day falls away. Evening Tony Connor’s tenth collection is framed by military encounters. In the first poem a young man grapples with a malfunctioning machine-gun, while the author grapples with the poem he is making from this event, memory or fantasy. In the surrealistic sequence that ends the book, a strange army invades a country collapsing into societal and semantic dissolution. |
