About Time TooPeter Robinson![]()
...from trimmed lawns, local genii
of place and language rise to say words about how the sharp-tongued must fear those with good memories, how even the colouring of the past comes back and is prolonged by witty remarks from the Seventies; then, tactfully, they slip away. from 'Your Other Country'
You decide to change your life. But what happens then to the broken-off life that's left behind? Emerging from landscapes, voices and weathers, the poems in About Time Too inhabit a present and shape a future by responding to (Byron's phrase) 'the colouring of the past'.
James Sutherland-Smith ended his notice in PN Review: 'To read Peter Robinson attentively is to gain an exact and exacting sense of what the world is now', while Kate Price in The Reader remarked that 'We need this kind of poetry'. |
