Tom Paulin's poetry book of the year. It's a "New and Selected", each text of text taking about 100 days to produce on average. "Et In Orcadia Ego" is the sort of prose who appearance in poetry books I never understand. There's a trace of the same style in the "Mountain" section, but poems like "Lengths of Air" in particular add something else. "Home Thoughts" adds human interest without lessening the metaphors. Metaphors take over in pieces like "Bridge" from "A Flight of Locks". I like "Name-Tag" best because it's a longer poem that isn't weakened by the use of prose narrative.
