Armitage's new collection is superb. Written as he grappled with the loss of his father and as he watched a new cemetery being created near his home, it ranges from life and joy to death and anger and from mud and flowers to depression and light. Each poem is named (sort of) for a moth, and the natural world is ever-present through countless aspects. Readers will want to savor these poems and revisit them often; the book will be great for group discussion, even as it's a wonderful thing to read in solitude.
