I've only had this book in my possession for a few hours, but after a few skim-readings, it seems to me that John Burnside has excelled himself yet again with this collection. He's previously hit the heights with the justifiably celebrated Asylum Dance which won the Whitbread, and its marvellous follow-up, The Light Trap, which, for me was even better. Gift Songs is another masterpiece; poetry like this lifts off the page and into the breath,and the morning light.
