This is the author's sixth book of poems and first full sequence. It charts the writer's response to the death of his parents - a loss which is set against the countryside in Wessex which formed the background to Street's upbringing in the 1950's. The power of landscape - 'the hard calm curve of the winter down' - provides the continuity which relieves grief, a tangible link with the past through the soil which overlays one generation on another.
