 James Kirkup
Kirkup's difficult and painful engagement with his subject is registered by the constant tension of language, leading to the poem's moving close:
Kirkup writes of a private rather than public world, an inner landscape detailing the minutiae of daily routine — the dealings with time, ageing and sleeplessness, the poet's delight (and focus of a number of poems in the book) of writing and writers.
Kirkup's poems are a privilege to experience, their generosity and musicality complementing and complicating the reader's own truths with each and every read.

In this 3rd volume of autobiography James Kirkup covers the two decades from 1936-1956, from his time as an undergraduate at Newcastle University to his departure from Britain for Japan.
James Kirkup's title poem was suggested by a passage from Leonardo da Vinci's literay works, a little treatise of anatomy which deals with lyrical and scientific frankness with the parts of the body.
In this modern interpretation of anatomy, the body is seen as the servant of the soul and the spirit of man. A fine copy in an slightly worn unclipped dustwrapper, D/J has wear to top and bottom of spine plus slight wear to corners and a couple of little nicks.

Dependably and often remarkably brilliant, James Kirkup is a professional poet in every sense the term has ever had.
He is the only poet I know of who can interest you in the difficulties of sitting down at the writing table each morning to dream up a new poem.
With Kirkup's work, however, I don't feel that facility is the problem, as it is with many writers.
