Series: Faber Poetry. Num Pages: 96 pages. BIC Classification: DC. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 199 x 128 x 9. Weight in Grams: 120. Very good clean copy. Price sticker back cover, otherwise as new
The 'wind dog' is a broken rainbow, but, in the title poem of Tom Paulin's sixth collection, it provides this most agile of poets with a perfect bridge into childhood and its 'lingo-jingo of beginnings'. The poem is a gloriously singing meditation on the life of the ear - 'the only true reader' - and the meaning and music of both words and pre-verbal sounds are a recurring theme in this rich, cogent and prosodically adventurous volume.
