Houses and gardens, remembered or imagined, dominate Neil Powell's sixth Carcanet collection: his grandmother's home in Chelsea, a magical childhood garden in the Surrey hills, an abandoned, fog-shrouded building on the East Anglian coast. There is a sequence of sonnets set in the Waveney valley and a series of epigrams arranged as an alphabetical catalogue raisonn . Friends are recalled, birthdays celebrated, and the collection ends with a moving elegy for the poet's father.
