Beskrivning

"From a Diary of Non-Events" captures a year in the life of Michael Hamburger, from December 2000 to November 2001, observing changes in the natural world alongside the preoccupations and ruminations of the poet in and around his home in a Suffolk village. Occasionally intruding upon these 'non-events' are the larger concerns of the outside world. Hamburger's skill in synthesizing the two strands results in a compelling narrative in which, as in all great sequences, the whole strikes us as more than the sum of its parts.
