Memory Tree by Gareth Culshaw
Hendon Press
Memory Tree is crammed with imagery, giving glimpses of the lives of dog walkers, cleaners, miner's wives, and builders. Culshaw's people are the locals - 'there's rain, there's sky dishes, small back gardens/ a neighbour who swops him a handshake'. Gareth Culshaw has an alert, original eye, and a tumbling, energising use of metaphor - 'There's a light behind each eye, maybe shines, or dims/ with each drag of his rollie'. This is a collection to savour. - Jean Atkin
