Third DayNew and Selected PoemsGrey Gowrie
Imprint: Anvil Press Poetry
Publisher: Carcanet Press Available as: Paperback (128 pages) (Pub. Apr 2008) 9781857549669 Out of Stock
Third Day is a selection from the poems Grey Gowrie has written between 1958 and the present. At the centre of the book is the sequence 'The Domino Hymn: Poems from Harefield', first published to great acclaim in 2005. This work draws on the best part of a year spent in hospital when the author, dying of a virus on his heart, was jolted back to life and writing by the surgical gift of a heart from a living donor. 'Marches', poems of the post-operative years, follows, inspired by the country between England and Wales and the borderlands we all occupy between being and non-being. The book ends with 'From Primrose Hill', a meditation on contemporary London.
