This is a collection of work from the 1960s to the 1990s, from a journey through worlds exotic, domestic, surreal and psychic. The poetry is above all a poetry of colour and celebration, of strangeness blossoming inside familiarity, nurtured with patterning of language and form.
'Transparently accomplished,' as John Kerrigan has written: 'his work displays the kind of internal "itinerary" which (in Mandelstam's language) is the mark of achieved poetry'. This book selects the best work from thirty years of that itinerary, a journey through worlds exotic, domestic, surreal and psychic, explored with visual sharpness and linguistic acuity. This is above all a poetry of colour and celebration, of strangeness blossoming inside familiarity, nurtured with a meticulous patterning of language and form. Eavan Boland has called Lindop's 'a lyric voice that moves language in and out of metaphor withskill and grace,draws you in, reminds you of an ordered and structured world the voice of a happy spirit with, maybe, a measure of regret and an interesting intimation of waste.'
