These poems, written over a period of forty years, confirm Anthony Thwaite as one of the most assured, interesting and enjoyable poets of his generation, whose work recognises conflicting forces. There is the need for roots and the desire to get away: there is the urge to speak plainly, and the impulse to speak through other voices. These are the poems of a traveller and explorer - of the contemporary world and of the past - who brings back tales which tell us more each time we read them.

Beautiful Art book includes 96 tipped in color plates. Photographed by Roloff Beny with text by Anthony Thwaite. Anthony Thwaite has used in his text English versions of "Haiku" from "The Penguin Book of Japanese Verse". Excerpt From Item: "The most extraordinary thing about Japan is that it is so very Japanese. Fuji seen in a red and black sunset at the end of some Tokyo suburban lane, small, clear, perfect, like a postage-stamp reproduction : the branch of a pine framing, with tortured elegance, a wall of cyclopean masonry : the litter of fallen cherry petals in a puddle : a grove of bamboo after a shower of rain. These natural snapshots abstracted from the memory are all true, all typical, and all sum up a received notion of Japan - a land where nature imitates art. The Japanses have been such loving delineators of the shapes and postures of their country that the travellor knows the place the momemnt he arrives, its patterns are printed on his retina as he steps ashore at Yokohama or lands at Haneda".
