- Summary:
- "Matthew Mead's subject is the presence and absence of the past . . . in their reticence and grave poignancy, these poems speak clearly to us of what we are and were; they are, I think, among the most austerely beautiful poems to have appeared in England for many years." So wrote the US-based British poet and critic Dick Davis in 1979, and the same is no less true for the poems in "Walking Out of the World.
