The Flying Trapeze is the sixth collection from Welsh poet Duncan Bush, one of the most significant voices of his generation. The poems are characteristically unsentimental, tough-minded and fiercely lyrical.
Largely inspired by his world travels, they range from the marginal, monochrome lives of ''Avedon''s Drifters'' to the full-blooded colours of the tango in ''A Blood Rose'', from his fine nature poems to the bitter political satire of ''A Season in Sarajevo'' and ''Lahore''.
"Duncan Bush creates a resilient dignity… against the obliterating rapids of history." – Poetry Wales
