Poems move from intimate addresses, such as “To Inez,” to examinations of place names marked by atrocity, “Word Made Flesh,” and reflections on art, history, and inherited loss. The table of contents maps a broad arc through pastoral scenes, personal ties, and culminating works including “The Return of Cain,” presenting how language, myth, and human action

autumn sadness blossomed into spring.  \nWe walked into a village caféTo find a khaki sergeant readingThe Bible between sips of tea.I trust he found within its pagesThe truth and comfort that I found in you  \n# PLACE NAMES\n\nThe lettering on the map expands and shrinksFluid as frontiers.Old women carry  \nSeared on their hearts the names of obscure hamlets—Festubert,Neuve Chapelle—otherwise knownOnly to military historians briefedFor or against dead brasshats.  \nSo for my generation there are names—Guernica,Oradour,Lidice—thatScar the map as stations of our cross.  \nScars mercifully heal.The names of placesWhere God and man descended into hellTo our sons are dead as Haig,irrelevantAs an Old Contemptibles'parade.Guernica is a painting by Picasso  \nAnd the tourist speeding past Lidice wondersWho planted there and whyThat bloodclot of red roses.  \n# WORD MADE FLESH\n\nIn the beginning the ultimate artist's concept,The potential idea;primeval forests compressedTo produce a coalfire;convulsion in the deepsTo throw up a wave.  \nNext the abstract shape,the prophecy,manifesto,Form but no concrete substance,seeking occasionTo move the waters'face,overshadow with powerThe virginal mind.  \nFollows the winter of gestation,spread of propaganda,Crude ore hammered into a sword,oiled naked-strippedThoughts wrestling for mastery,thought fathering action,Action fathering thought.  \nWith bursting spring the apocalyptic visitation,The hero-to-be snatched from the flaming womb,A symphony born,a poem,a village carpenter,A soviet state.  \nEpic shrunk to epigram,a noonday shadow,The universe caged in six feet of bone,beneathFlesh glorified by the living spirit,and spiritBy the shaping flesh.","cbCaijoeW0nlRhkE","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijoeW0nlRhkE","pdf",1337430,44,"English","# Acknowledgements\n# Contents\n# To Inez\n# Place Names\n# Word Made Flesh\n# Pipes and Marbles\n# To My
