The collection brings together poetry from more than a dozen collections, including celebrated long poems such as "The Photographer in Winter", "Metro", "The Courtyards", "An English Apocalypse" and "Reel". Throughout his work, Szirtes explores universal themes, including love, desire and illusion; loyalty and betrayal; history, art and memory; and humanity and truth.
