The Weather on the Moon by Robin Thomas

‘The humanity of the poems lies in the “momentary turmoil” that for Robin Thomas characterizes life, and which his cast of real and imaginary characters share. History becomes a matter of moments – of awareness, suffering, injustice but also absurdity and beauty’ – Janice Dempsey

‘The “homely” formal qualities of these well-made poems belie a mystery, a strangeness, a reckoning. The speaker at the end of “Danger Zone” advises us not to spend too long in a place of sanctuary: it’s amongst “the danger and delight of the world you need to be”’ – Julian Stannard
