Body Language cover

Body language and the body of language - from the first words in the first garden to the last words of last night's lovers - are the entwined themes of Jon Stallworthy's new collection of poems, his first since The Guest from the Future (1995), described by Poetry Review as 'snatches of radio traffic from this century's storms, true stories ...and some of the storytelling inspired'. The centrepiece of the book is 'Skyhorse', an ambitious poem that finds the White Horse on the Berkshire Downs an enduring presence through three millennia of English history.

"Stallworthy s craft is like embroidery, delicately weaving rhyme and rhythm, art and life, present and past." Richard Tyrell, "Independent," on "Rounding the Horn: Collected Poems"
