Description
There'll be time, we say; there'll be time to rewrite our part in the pantomime, to embrace the promise of the approaching rhyme. Poetry as comfort, poetry as confrontation.
In Winter Eyes Harry Ricketts reaches into past and future, with other writers and artists--from Kipling to Dylan, Austen to Frame--in the crosscurrents. These are poems of friendship, of love's stranglehold, of the streets and buildings where history played out. Elegiac and bittersweet, Winter Eyes is Harry Ricketts' best yet.
