A Cure for Woodness by Michael Haslam
Offers a reaffirmation of the nature, language and music with which the poet finds himself surrounded in his hilltop home in the Pennines.
Michael Haslam was born in Bolton, Lancashire in 1947, and has lived in the Calder Valley since 1970. Widely published in the network associated with 'The Cambridge School of Poetry' in the 1960s, he became widely known through the publication, to great acclaim, of his collected poems, 'A Whole Bauble', by Carcanet in1995. He has worked as a labourer most of his life, but now, thanks to a legacy, he is able to devote his time to writing. 'A Cure for Woodness' is the third part of Haslam's trilogy 'Music', the first two parts of which, 'The Music Laid her Songs in Language' (Arc, 2001) and 'A Sinner Saved by Grace' (Arc, 2005) were widely praised and received excellent reviews when they were published. Like the first two parts of the triology, 'A Cure for Woodness' is a reaffirmation in of the nature, language and music with which the poet finds himself surrounded in his hilltop home in the Pennines.
