Apart from three poems from 1969 set in Japan and collected in \u003cem\u003eFrom the Japanese \u003c\/em\u003e(Isobar, 2013), \u003cem\u003eSeeing Sights\u003c\/em\u003e gathers all of his poems up to 1978. After opening with a version of the Old English 'Seafarer' and a poem each from Cambodia and India, the ambience becomes distinctly northern, with the mountains of the Lake District being an abiding presence. The writing is imagistic, but as the book progresses it takes a more extended, improvisatory form as the poems respond to landscapes, art installations, authors (Du Fu, Ezra Pound, Gary Snyder), work, people met while hitch-hiking, a First World War battlefield, or the hallucinatory storm of a painting by Bosch.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 84\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.2 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 16, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46247188136133,"sku":"9784907359171","price":29.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/bheEoUCTE-9784907359171.webp?v=1779242532","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/seeing-sights-paperback","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
