Description

Christopher Reid's new collection explores the complexities of identity and experience through a series of intriguing encounters between two selves. Spanning from pre-verbal experience to adolescence, the poems capture the steps by which a man - a poet - has been raised. Reid's investigation into his own past is both personal and universal, reflecting on the role of childhood and art in shaping our understanding of ourselves. The result is a collection that is both a nostalgic look back at the Britain of the 1950s and '60s, and a thoughtful exploration of the human condition. With its ingenuity and wondering gaze, this book invites readers to reflect on their own journey through life, and the ways in which our experiences shape us into the people we are today.
