Description
These new poems relate to episodes in an 'inner journey' or form of Alchemic search. One is soon aware that this search is a self-seeking, and not simply that of an individual man, but of something more general: a borrowed masculinity. The title poems are the proof and achievement of this search - and the Miraculous Mandarin emerges as an all-demanding myth of the male which finds peculiar resonance in the context of our contemporary reassertion of the female.
Reviews / Votes
'John Moat's particular genius lies in his ability to dream - that is the alchemy of his work, by extension, and it is an emphasis I can only applaud. His poetry is deep in the true sense - it is a poetry of feeling depth: of mystery and soul."Jay RamsayMore details
