Christopher Meredith's latest collection is filled with gorgeous, original depictions of the landscape of Wales, especially the Black Mountains near the author's home.
Beginning in the Stone Age and ending in the future, well-known forms appear alongside vigorous experiments, all touching on the various histories, and human fallibilities, that shape our present lives. "The defining feature of Christopher Meredith's poetry is an exquisite, almost painful precision. But there is also beauty and a bright, self-deprecating wit."
