hide now



In Hide Now, Glyn Maxwell shows how the times have begun to warp time itself: in the poet's vision, the past rears up again with its angry ghosts, the present is racked by nightmares marital and climatic, and the future has already come and gone. All the stories of the earth seem menaced by just one - some cover their eyes and ears to it, some run and hide.

Glyn Maxwell selected my picture of Umi behind glass for the cover of his latest collection of work, published in October by Picador Poetry.
