Baffling Gravity

Gravity as a physical influence, the weight of gravity, and gravity ofthought and action are central to Andrew Sant's new collection of poems - and sotoo is the means of baffling gravity, not the least by the deployment of wit.Gravity here is also baffling in the alternative sense, as a force or as atheory, which summons perplexity. These poems, wide ranging in time and place,are richly textured investigations of the world, its terrain and its people, byan alert, often restless, informed observer.
