Description

James Lasdun's new collection of poems, Water Sessions, explores the complexities of personal and social experience. With characteristic blend of celebration and elegy, he navigates themes both intimate and global.

The poems in this volume examine the intersections of desire, repression, art, and silence, as well as the relationships between fathers and sons, men and women. Recurring motifs of water and gardens provide a sense of coherence to the wide-ranging subjects, while also lending a note of intense lyrical beauty to some of the poems.

Lasdun's poetry is marked by its versatility and intelligence, moving from formal structures to innovative dialogue forms and free verse with equal skill. This collection showcases his standing as one of the most gifted poets writing today.
