Description

The politesse of Twelfth Century ballades and rondeaux, rendered with a view to accuracy in assonance; the politic egotism of Benjamin Constant and Germaine de Stael (and their mutually consuming passion in coach and salon); the political incorrectness - and worse - of Galina Breznheva: these are the similar and dissimilar elements which make up John Watson's Triptych. 'His poems range considerably, from beautifully poised meditations in the manner of Wallace Stevens through to light-hearted satire.' - Geoff Page 'Wow!... his work is extraordinary.' - Peter Minter
