Book Description:
|
These wide-ranging poems explore aspects of British life after 1940. Through individual elegies they celebrate the dignity and fortitude of the working class generation who survived the second world war. In a symbolic 'Leaving of Liverpool' the volume then turns to the suburban world of this generation's children, its culture and politics. Beyond both, an affirmation is found in the beauty and energy of the natural world, and in poetry's potential for integrity and truth.
