In careful rhythms, the 21 poems of this British poet's fourth collection describe the "collision" of opposites that Londoners and other city dwellers live with daily: e.g., the city's smell of "Peking duck and piss." Repo-men and aging chess players, pigeons and Chinese supermarkets, sidewalk preachers and railway station bars all populate these neat stanzas. While echoing Larkin in his desire to look unflinchingly, Hill is ultimately more optimistic about the human condition. Many poems insist on some kind of sweetness, even a lost one, as in the penultimate section of "A Year in London," a poem with a section for each month; after suggesting bombs falling, the poem ends with fireworks: "[a]nd all that brilliance was ours / in our dreams that night." Hill also sounds at times like Frost, another polestar for plainspoken poets: describing a young couple fixing up an abandoned house, he writes, "[a]ll this was years ago. And now you're here, / the two of you scything the bittersweet." Occasionally, what Hill (Zoo, 1998) encounters in the contemporary world is so awful that only silence or disbelief are appropriate: "[t]he death toll mounts every morning. / It grows unspeakable.", Salt has a real winner in Tobias Hill'sNocturne in Chrome & Sunset Yellow hellip; of your preference is for a poetry you share in, enter into imaginatively, then Hill is your man hellip; bringing London to life sensuously, giving it a real cosmopolitan lived-in feel., Salt has a real winner in Tobias Hill's Nocturne in Chrome & Sunset Yellow ... of your preference is for a poetry you share in, enter into imaginatively, then Hill is your man ... bringing London to life sensuously, giving it a real cosmopolitan lived-in feel., Salt has a real winner in Tobias Hill'sNocturne in Chrome & Sunset Yellow… of your preference is for a poetry you share in, enter into imaginatively, then Hill is your man … bringing London to life sensuously, giving it a real cosmopolitan lived-in feel., What Hill reveals to us in this vital, luminous collection is that 200 years later, collision is still the city's essential state. In a book-length love song to the fabulousness and ragged beauty of his native London, he considers the city through the lattice of physical and metaphorical dialectics - nature and manufacture, wealth and poverty, glamour and grime - that bring it to life.

This seller has little respect for the way they ship or how they describe products. This product was probably the first they described correctly but it’s tossed in an envelope without any sort of padding because they don’t care at all. I get that it’s cheap. I ordered from them accidentally but will be sure not to do so again. They have no respect for their customers.
