The Late Sun

Review There is formal ingenuity even in the most apparently straightforward of pieces here, and part of the pleasure comes from the interaction of form and subject - which, it should hardly need saying, is what poetry is all about. If I had to recommend a collection as treatment for lockdown blues, The Late Sun might well be it. -- John Greening ― Poetry Review Product Description The new collection of poems from Christopher Reid. Book Description A new poetry collection from the Costa Book Award-winner offers a lifetime's lessons in 'light and being alive'.
