The work draws on historical imagination such as the Wars of the Roses, blending sombre, deeply reflective themes with shifting musical unity. Critical context highlights Hill’s profoundly ambiguous relationship to Christianity, the need for repeated readings, and the crafted renewal of sound and language, supported by a reproduced

new collection of hispoems is an event in the eyes ofcritics and a matter of pride to us.  \nThis book,his first major col-lection since For the Unfallen(1959),includes two poetic cycles,'FuneralMusic'and ‘The Songbook ofSebastian Arrurruz'.The latterrepresents the work of an apoc-ryphal Spanish poet who was bornin 1868 and died in I922.Arrurruz's few surviving lyrics arelove poems,sad and sensual.Theirpresence in this volume has theeffect of a‘movement'in a musicalwork:a theme of a new kind is in-troduced and the mood changes.but without destroying the unityof the whole.  \n‘Funeral Music'derives from animagining of the Wars of theRoses.Like most of Hill's poemsthose in this group are sombre anddeeply thought,rising out ofspecific events to resound withcries at the whole state of life:God inscrutable,man bestial,thingsunaccountable.Christopher Rickshas written of Hill that 'his re-lationship to Christianity,as toContinued on backflap  \n$3·95  \nContinued from front flap  \nall traditional systems and beliefs,is profoundly ambiguous,but notevasively or slily so...'and thetensions of this ambiguity arestrongly present in the new book.  \nThese are grave poems,andsometimes mysterious—they needand repay repeated readings—butthey hold the reader through hissenses as well as his intellect.There are lovely meetings of soundand words are made new.GeoffreyHill writes within a tradition andrenews it by the intensity withwhich he concentrates his per-ceptions and his language.  \nThe cover illustration,from afifteenth-century edition of
