Each detail leads to others through association; there is multiplicity everywhere, and movement and energy. This is as true of the poems which capture the particular features of animals, the transient effects of landscape, or the memories of people and places, as it is of the language-oriented poems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a range of styles: lyrical, dramatic, and narrative, which build on the achievements of poems in Beveridge's previous collections. There is also an emotional range to the poems: some are joyous, celebratory, ecstatic; others are humorous, elegiac, nostalgic.
