New collection by Philip Gross, winner of the TS Eliot Prize 2009 for his previous book The Water Table.
In his nineties Philip Gross's father, a wartime refugee, began to lose his several languages, first to deafness, then profound aphasia. Deeply thought as well as deeply felt, these poems reach into that gulf to find him - through recovery of histories both spoken and unspoken as well as an excavation of the spoken word itself. Readers who admired Philip Gross's subtlety and range in his T.S. Eliot Prize-winning collection The Water Table will find those qualities brought to a new human urgency in the compelling sequences of Deep Field.
Get Deep Field by Philip Gross at the best price and quality guaranteed only at Werezi Africa's largest book ecommerce store. The book was published by Bloodaxe Books Ltd and it has 64 pages.
