Neurosurgery in Iraq

Plot

It's poems were written over a fairly short period – probably 3 years or so – but range widely over events and landscapes, personal, political and historical. Reading the collection now, it is clear that its dominant themes and subjects have endured in my work. Issues of identity, family, personal and community histories (and silences), war and death, introduced here in the landscapes of Spain, England, Iraq and other places, are further explored in much of my work since.
