Ronald Bottrall, born in 1906, emerged as a notable poet in the thirties when F.R. Leavis singled out his early work for attention. His `Collected Poems' (1961) was warmly received. The major part of his new book was written during 1972, and in these recent poems the mature talents of a very distinctive and distinguished writer are at their best. The book is in five parts; the first is a single long narrative poem, rich in humour, about the poet's Cornish childhood. There follow groups of shorter poems about people, events and places - lyrical, meditative, or satirical; and always superbly skilful.
