No Through Road (Paperback)

His first collection since the well-received New and Selected Poems 1965-2005, No Through Road sees the poet returning to his chosen territory of the quotidian where real things - love, loss, regret, age, sickness and death - happen. A poet of landscape, Sutton's lyricism also embraces passionately the modern world as we know it. The poems of No Through Road are instantly recognisable as being of the living tradition of Thomas Hardy, Edward Thomas and Philp Larkin. Immensely readable, they show a poet still very much in his prime.
