This poetry collection moves seamlessly between the local and the universal, the humble earth and the stars. Peter Scupham is as much a master of the great memorializing sequence--about his parents, his wartime childhood, or his National Service days--as of the hauntingly evocative lyric. Even when his themes are at their most personal, they are interwoven with endless threads of history and memory.
