4.0 out of 5 stars Really good poetry, 16 April 2009
This review is from: Raw Skies: New and Selected Poems (Paperback)
An excellent colection of Nigel Wheale's poems. His poetry is variable but the good one are really very good:

En Route

"Summerless
when the stars were ploughed
into strict regimen

and close by the emptied word

safety howled at a short rein"

This collection also contains his translations, along with Walid Abdul-Hamid, of the great Arabic poet al-Mutanabbi which are wonderful.

A good collection well worth the price.
