Summary

Three very different sequences hold this collection of poems together: an experimental section entitled "Accident"; "Annunciations"; and "A Habitat", a group of poems loosely surrounding the retrieval of an old house from its ghostly past.

The Ark by Peter Scupham

The Ark is Peter Scupham's latest collection of poems, following his Selected Poems and Watching the Perseids , both published by OUP in 1990. The poems explore questions hovering on the borderlines of `is' and `seems', life and death, truth and lies. His Ark is steered to `its safe and certain loss' with a freight of dreams, memories, terrors, gifts; it is a habitation that carries him through varied landscapes and weathers to a possible Ararat. Three very different sequences hold the collection together: an experimental sequence, `Accident', followed by `Annunciations', and `A Habitat', a group of poems loosely surrounding the retrieval of an old house from its ghostly past. This book is intended for readers of comtemporary poetry.
Peter Scupham is the cofounder of the Mandeville Press and a fellow of the Royal Society of Literature. He is the author of 10 poetry collections, including Night Watch, Out Late, and Peter Scupham: Collected Poems.
