Luna Park by Grevel Lindop
Centering on the themes of music, travel, and dance, this collection of poems explores the concepts of dreams, ghosts, myth, and magic. Ranging in subject from an Afro-Cuban initiation ritual to the folklore of English yew trees and in place from a haunted library to a shrine of Our Lady in Mexico, this anthology deploys an original viewpoint as well as a wide range of both traditional and experimental skills. Passionate, sensual, and full of imagination, this compendium reveals a new world that is both intriguingly strange and eerily familiar.
Dazzling.. by various routes Lindop is weaving his strange and doubtful pilgrimage into the canonical mainstream of poetry, and he is doing it invariably with accomplishment. Bernard O Donoghue, "Poetry London"
