Rezensionen
Not just beautifully written, with all the power and grace of one of our leading English poets - but made the more remarkable by insights into the history of the poetic life in this country since the middle of the last century. Here also find travels among Russian poets under Soviet rule - and the story of Feinstein's own marriage, as poet met scientist in the days when people fell in love and stayed in love, through thick and thin.It both illuminates, and moves to tears.
