'In one sense, Judith Beveridge’s Sun Music: New and Selected Poemscan be seen as a replacement for Hook and Eye: A Selection of Poemspublished in 2014 in the Braziller series. That wasn’t, I suppose, a true Selected, more a brief introduction (it runs to just under a hundred pages) for those unacquainted with Beveridge’s work. Sun Music has a slightly exiguous feeling as well: one hundred and seventy pages chosen from her earlier books and a nearly book-length collection of new poems which provides the book’s title.'
