Description

The Palace of Oblivion is a poetry collection that explores the beauty and extravagance of the past. Inspired by Renaissance and Baroque art, Davidson's poems take the reader on a journey through forgotten glories, remote places, and vivid meditations on unusual relics and marvels.

From recollections of 17th-century worlds to contemporary England viewed through the eyes of a spy, this collection moves seamlessly between different languages, continents, and time periods. A group of elegies and epistles also pay tribute to the place and history of northern Scotland.

This diverse range of poems showcases Davidson's unique voice and perspective, inviting readers to immerse themselves in his poetic world.
