5.0 out of 5 stars My favourite collection of recent years..., 23 Sep 2008
By John A (england) - See all my reviews
This book is my favourite contemporary poetry. I first read it about 3 years ago and there is no let-up in my captivation by it. What I find exciting about this work is the way that it makes me feel that I am dis-embodied in some isolated rural location, eavesdropping on the poet's thoughts. Here Jane Routh is often either questioning herself, or addressing someone who is not present ( an ex- or absent love), somehow giving the effect of "crossed-lines" in consciousness. In the sequence "Signal Flags" and elsewhere, signals across the sea are used as a metaphor for the doubtful possibility of ever communicating our inmost selves truly. In this it reminds me of my favourite poet Hart Crane. Although I would concede to those who put a premimum on novelty that neither the subject matter nor the writing-style of Circumnavigation is one-off original, I like the fact that it is a voice that seems familiar, like a favourite aunt's and speaks of things that often flare up to preoccupy us: loss, memories and isolaton; in a way that is vivid and invigorating as if overheard out under the stars amid a dark landscape.
