Intimate lyrical grace sustained on an orchestral scale. Alive
with heat and sex.
Totem confirms Luke Davies' position as one of our most
important contemporary poets. An ecstatic hymn to love and life,
grandly dense, hallucinatory in its intensity, Totem Poem' glows
like a sun at the heart of this book; the diamond-edged 40 love
poems', exquisite lyrics of romance, passion and intimacy, circle
it like satellites.
In this new collection Davies has created an extraordinarily moving
and beautiful poetic universe, at once richly physical and
uncompromisingly metaphysical.
