Description
The poet – a man of the world in the widest sense – reflects and in reflection relives the intense experiences that shaped him and that have shaped our modern world. Salvage at Twilight ends with "Deposition", a harrowing elegy in five parts: the beloved endures "her Nile of pain"; the lover attends as she is treated, the last scene postponed until the two selves are quite differently refined. His editor has written, "Dan Burt's poetry, like his prose, explores themes unusual in contemporary literature, using a language that is precise, nuanced and mordant. And he risks traditional forms, his sonnets and quatrains mastered and masterful".
