On Poetry by Jonathan Davidson Alison Brackenbury And he’s back

And he’s back

brings his unique tragedian’s eye to bear on both the city’s and our society’s efforts to right itself

but can sometimes seem to have no use for them at all

between which there fluctuates a present that is no less elusive

On Poetry by Jonathan Davidson Alison Brackenbury And he’s backJonathan Davidson retraces his immersion in poetry, from childhood onwards, listening carefully to the shapes it made in the air. Looking closely at poems by Maura Dooley and Peter Didsbury, amongst others, and examining the impact of hearing Ted Hughes, Carol Ann Duffy and Earnesto Cardenal, he offers a very personal response to the public and private experiences of poetry.
