| Description: | Select Guide Rating A collection of poems that takes care and consideration in examining the often brutal arena of human relations, concluding with a mercurial and affecting sequence about a marriage, which takes, as its point of departure, that most influential of military treatise, "The Art of War". Laird''s debut collection, To a Fault (2005), signalled the arrival of a significant new talent, ''doing more, in its range and ambition,'' wrote Deryn Rees-Jones in the Independent, ''than any first collection I can think of in at least the last ten years.'' On Purpose confirms the promise of that first book and shows the author hitting new and yet more athletic strides. |
