skeltonthe hunting dark  \n# The Hunting Dark\n\nRobin Skelton  \nRobin Skelton's new collection confirmshis already established reputation as oneof the most considerable poets now writ-ing in English.To his themes of the con-fusions and passions of adolescence,thecomedy of middle-aged nostalgia andsexuality,the pathos of humanity trappedin a world of war and racial prejudice,and the insecurity of human existence,hebrings a warm wry humanity and a vigourof speech that continually assert hispassionate belief in the ineradicable dig-nity of man;and the experiences whichthe poems celebrate and explore are,forthe most part,ones which many readerswill recognize as forming part of theirown lives.He has not,however,restrictedhimself to revealing the hidden depths ofcommon experience.In several poems,such as Sleeping Out,The Edge,and TheDoor Knob,he probes to the very edge ofmental stability,and in some of the poemsin the fourth section of the book he pre-sents intuitions which are as vividly non-rational as they are convincing.  \nRobin Skelton's poetry combines a pro-found feeling for ordinary human experi-ence with that intense perception of thenuminous without which poetry cannot besaid to deserve its name.He speaks witha candour,clarity and passion which isunusual in our time.  \nf1·75 net  \nUK only  \nNATIONAL COVERAGE SCHEN  \n821SKGSE心下N,g
