Summary, etc. 'Lucid, tender and humane . . . One of the most formally agile and compassionate poets of our age’ Fiona Benson<br/>Here you are, on the balcony,<br/>the sea serenading you,<br/>the sun with its armful of light.<br/>In Afterburn, Blake Morrison returns to poetry, his first calling, to offers scenes from his own life and the lives of others. In psychology, 'afterburn' refers to the time before a past event is assimilated – an idea that resonates through these poems (which themselves linger after reading) about memory and our attempts to articulate, shape or contain it.<br/>Throughout the collection, not least in two extraordinary sequences – one about his sister, the other about Elizabeth Bishop – the poet sees with new eyes the turning points in a life's accidental course. What holds his wise, touching, melancholy yet joyful poems together are the small intimacies that bind us to others, under time’s lengthening shadow: ‘you moved too fast for me to catch you / and so did the years.’<br/>Playful and charming, sometimes rakishly so, Afterburn nevertheless reveals an open, and vulnerable, heart.
