<p>The poems in this volume are all concerned, one way or another, with achieving a balance in the face of gravity. Lynch looks for this equilibrium between equal and opposing forces, such as sex and death, and love and grief - all the things that make us mortal and memorable.</p>

History & Criticism

Winner of the Whitbread Prize, this gripping collection of poems centers around the body. Mystical, philosophical, and erotic, the bodies in these poems move between different worldslife and after-life, death and resurrectionencountering pathologists' blades, geneticists' maps, and the wounds of love and war. Equally at ease with scripture and science, these poems are a thrilling blend of modern and ancient wisdom, a profound and lyrical exploration of the mysteries of the body. Ranging effortlessly between the physical extremes of deathfrom putrefaction to purificationand lifedrought and flood, hunger and satiationthe poems in Corpus speak most movingly of living the half-life between two elements,” of what it is to be unique and luminously alive.

Corpus (Cape Poetry)

Roberts, Michael Symmons

Poetry

It's Jake's birthday. He is sitting in a small plane, being flown over the landscape that has been the backdrop to his life -- his childhood, his marriage, his work, his passions. Now he is in his early sixties, and he isn't quite the man he used to be. He has lost his wife, his son is in prison, and he is about to lose his past. Jake has Alzheimer's.
