Böcker av Martyn Crucefix

Martyn Crucefix's new collection of poems trace two landscapes - contemporary Britain and the countryside of the Marche in central, eastern Italy. Both places are vividly evoked - the coffee shops, traffic tailbacks, shopping malls, tourist-dotted hillsides and valleys of modern Britain appear in stark contrast to the Classical ruins of Italy.

Martyn Crucefix's new poems vividly evoke the landscapes of northern England and - in a sequence of sonnets inspired by the writing of Rosalia de Castro - the north west of Spain. But more than place, they explore the ways in which we inhabit time - how we are harmed and healed by it, how we deny, ignore, sublimate, repeat or reprise it.
