Eight years on from his assured and acclaimed first collection, A JUMP START, James Lasdun here consolidates his reputation as a writer of rich, dense and carefully worked poems of gem-like brillance.
James Lasdun's books include The Horned Man and Give Me Everything You Have: On Being Stalked. He teaches creative writing at Columbia University and reviews regularly for the Guardian. His work has been filmed by Bernardo Bertolucci (Besieged) and he co-wrote the films Sunday, which won Best Feature and Best Screenplay awards at Sundance, and Signs and Wonders, starring Charlotte Rampling and Stellan Skarsgard.
I'm filled with admiration, delight and gratitude at discovering
James Lasdun's poems... He has wit, speed, intelligence, a keen
eye, precision and imagination of the highest order
