Description
This collection of poetry was inspired by stays on various Greek islands and by the work of several poets David Solway has known and admired?Nikos, Gatsos, Henrik Nordtbrand, and Andreas Karavis. As with all books of "travel" poetry, Bedrock is a marriage of subject and object, self and other. This is his most challenging and rewarding book yet.
