<p>Over seventeen years and nine collections, John Burnside has built - in the words of Bernard O''Donoghue - ''a poetic corpus of the first significance'', a poetry of luminous, limpid grace. His territory is the no-man''s-land of threshold and margin, the charmed half-light of the liminal, a domestic world threaded through with mystery, myth and longing. <br><br>In this <i>Selected Poems</i> we can see themes emerge and develop within the growing confidence of Burnside''s sinuous lyric poise: the place of the individual in the world, the idea of dwelling, of <i>home</i>, within that community, and the lure of absence and escape set against the possibilities of renewal and continuity.<br><br>This is consummate, immaculate work born out of a lean and agile craftsmanship, profound philosophical thought and a haunted, haunting imagination; the result is a poetry that makes intimate, resonant, exquisite music.</p>
