Presents a journey, a search for the meaning of home, drawing together poems from all his Bloodaxe, Faber and Peterloo collections. It includes his Whitebread-shortlisted Wasting Game-poems on his daughters anorexia.
In this intimate new collection, the Christian poet Kenneth Steven reflects on bereavement, marital breakdown, the pain of separation from his beloved young daughter and the search for 'home'.
Challenging and tender, these poems are a rite of passage. Philip Gross's much praised previous collection, Deep Field, explored the loosening connections between the self and language in his refugee father's old age.
