Description
The poems in Invitation to View often leave as many questions as answers. Fragments of the past linger, influencing the present, while unfinished business continues to unfold. This new collection by Peter Scupham is framed by poems that consider the visitors who may one day arrive at his 400-year-old house, long after he and his partner have left it behind. The poet's home has been a place of creative expression, where gestures like poetry picnics and Shakespearean productions have brought life to the garden. Yet, time will modify and forget these efforts, leaving only memories. As Tom Stoppard's words from Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead suggest, every exit can be an entrance somewhere else. In Invitation to View, Scupham invites readers to ponder the possibilities of what may come next, as he reflects on the past and its ongoing presence in his life.
