Author Description

In this latest collection of poems, Hill invokes people and place, mythologizing and demythologizing city lives as they are led. From poignant vignettes and celebrations to urban-pastoral and elegy, these poems extend Hill's romance with London's psychic and surreal fabric. Selected as a Next Generation poet, Hill continues to delight us with sensuous observation and imaginative embrace. "Hill's special territory, in poetry and prose, is the 'urban-pastoral'... his native North London is transformed, with many deftly dark touches, into an uneasy realm of the imagination. Hill clea.
