Publisher's Synopsis

This collection consists of poems set in continental Europe, Palestine and Wales. From Spitzbergen to Jerusalem, the poems render different places with physical immediacy, and reveal the historical and cultural forces that have gone to their making. The main unifying theme is the relation between European culture, with its history of violent destructiveness as well as creativity, and images of the Great Mother. It is an ambitious book of poems, which explores the roots of Western civilization and is informed by a sense of crisis in the relation between European 'man' and the natural world.
