Peter Philpott's lyrics on his granddaughter Ianthe read like the meditations of a slightly deranged but liberated Wordsworth, who has escaped onto the streets of the twenty-first century, not quite sure whether he is the grandfather or the grandchild.
The poetry collection features three long sequences that showcase Peter Philpott's mastery of the form. "In the Present Historic Sense" explores the author's native North-West Somerset, while "On Being Voiced" and "An Encounter Upon the Beach at Minehead With the Prince of This World" delve into themes of identity and existential encounters. This volume marks a significant return for Philpott, highlighting his unique voice and perspective developed over the past decade.
Merging devotional poetry with avant-garde practices, this work draws inspiration primarily from Anglo-Saxon goddesses and the Anglo-Saxon calendar. It offers a unique take on Brecht's Hauspostille through the lens of a polytheist agnostic amateur antiquarian. The narrative weaves together diverse influences, including Tolkien and Tove Jansson, alongside reflections on the cafes of Bishops Stortford and the quest to rediscover the hero Unwin the Un-Friend. The book also features prose elements and splendid early-Nineteenth century engravings.
Exploring the theme of repetition and reflection, this work utilizes a palindrome to delve into the complexities of existence and perception. As voices and images interweave, it presents a dynamic narrative that shifts and evolves, highlighting the influence of diverse elements like gardenias, Inca mummies, and iron mines on daily life. The style embodies naive realism, capturing the intricate connections between seemingly disparate subjects while inviting readers to navigate through its layered meanings.
