Robert Wells writes poems of memory, a memory so intense it conjures places, objects and desires with their original force and freshness. The high points of a life are celebrated, and personal memories and the common memories of a culture are brought together. This collection of poetry and translations draws together the threads of his work in eight linked sections of sensuous evocation. There are poems set on the coast of Exmoor and in the hill country of central Italy; some concerned with erotic friendship, with travel and landscape. In the final two sections, his celebrated translations of Virgil's Georgics and the Idylls of Theocritus fuse lived experience with a deep knowledge of the original texts.
