In careful rhythms, the 21 poems of this British poet's fourth collection describe the "collision" of opposites that Londoners and other city dwellers live with daily: e.g., the city's smell of "Peking duck and piss." Repo-men and aging chess players, pigeons and Chinese supermarkets, sidewalk preachers and railway station bars all populate these neat stanzas. While echoing Larkin in his desire to look unflinchingly, Hill is ultimately more optimistic about the human condition. Many poems insist on some kind of sweetness, even a lost one, as in the penultimate section of "A Year in London," a poem with a section for each month; after suggesting bombs falling, the poem ends with fireworks: "[a]nd all that brilliance was ours / in our dreams that night." Hill also sounds at times like Frost, another polestar for plainspoken poets: describing a young couple fixing up an abandoned house, he writes, "[a]ll this was years ago. And now you're here, / the two of you scything the bittersweet." Occasionally, what Hill (Zoo, 1998) encounters in the contemporary world is so awful that only silence or disbelief are appropriate: "[t]he death toll mounts every morning. / It grows unspeakable.", Salt has a real winner in Tobias Hill'sNocturne in Chrome & Sunset Yellow hellip; of your preference is for a poetry you share in, enter into imaginatively, then Hill is your man hellip; bringing London to life sensuously, giving it a real cosmopolitan lived-in feel., Salt has a real winner in Tobias Hill's Nocturne in Chrome & Sunset Yellow ... of your preference is for a poetry you share in, enter into imaginatively, then Hill is your man ... bringing London to life sensuously, giving it a real cosmopolitan lived-in feel., Salt has a real winner in Tobias Hill'sNocturne in Chrome & Sunset Yellow… of your preference is for a poetry you share in, enter into imaginatively, then Hill is your man … bringing London to life sensuously, giving it a real cosmopolitan lived-in feel., What Hill reveals to us in this vital, luminous collection is that 200 years later, collision is still the city's essential state.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
