These poems are about time and memory. Many of them focus on the particular moments of experience that our memories are able to capture and preserve a process of considerable mystery. In this his first full-length collection Graham Wood considers some of the mysteries involved in time and memory. He does this obliquely in a glancing way rather than directly. Many of the poems are like snapshots or small movies often suffused with a quirky humour. Others are more serious in tone and reach but always retain a lightness of touch.
