By Charles S. Ricketts, Ballantyne Press Bkp Cu-Banc, Hacon & Ricketts Bkp Cu-Banc

is the new poem sequence by Peter Abbs. In this collection, he traces a recurrent movement from autobiography to myth from concern with place and identity to a preoccupation with persona (mask) and myth a movement from the heart to the imagination and back to the heart. Using the lives of characters from history and mythology-painters philosophers poets-he explores the creative experiences of a variety of men and women. these poems are placed in a wider context by the inclusion here of poems that demonstrate the full range of Abbs' work. This book confirms his stature as one of our leading contemporary poets. This description may be from another edition of this product.
