A Bird's Idea of Flight by David Harsent
A sequence of 25 poems which charts a circular journey: 12 of them trace the outward journey, the 13th is pivotal, and the remainder bring the traveller home. The subject of the quest is thanatology, and in particular the author is deeply curious about the business of his own death.
David Harsent has published eight collections of poetry. The most recent, Legion, won the Forward Prize for best collection 2005 and was shortlisted for both the Whitbread Award and the T. S. Eliot Prize. His Selected Poems 1969-2005 was shortlisted for the Griffin International Poetry prize.
