'In this series of eclogues ... Mark Tredinnick makes a slow road trip through a landscape of ideas, emotions and things. The scenery is real, intimate and mythic; the voice, gentle and urgent. "A poem is country," Tredinnick writes, "and it needs you to keep walking it... You write it like rain; you enter it like nightfall." These poems think musically and carefully about landscape, love and loss - they contemplate the world and how one might live in it with grace.' (Publisher's blurb)
