Plot

Close attention to life's minutiae permeates this collection of wry and optimistic poems that address the changing of the seasons and lasting friendships. English cricked commentaries, blackbirds' songs, and the rural world are all investigated and revealed to be more intriguing and trenchant than at first glance. A remarkable alertness to the commonplace is present throughout the collection, while an accessible, light style often belies deep insights.
