English Nettles by Peter Robinson
English Nettles brings together poems Peter Robinson began writing on his return to England after many years living in Japan. Now redesigned and reissued after many years out of print, this evocative collaboration between poet Peter Robinson and artist Sally Castle celebrates fleeting English landscapes and moments, and home viewed afresh.
".. the finest poet of his generation" - PN Review; "Robinson is at his best when describing the strangeness of marginalia such as ... "a creosoted shed / with ivy busting through its boards" ... where time is distorted and realigned like perspectives in a mirror so that a return "home" feels as strange as being in a foreign country" - Poetry London; "... a major English poet" - Poetry Review;
