Sobre IBD

In The Slowing Ride Stone reclaims his role of cerebral journeyman: an inveterate trawler of history, both recent and far distant, moving back and forth between epochs and events, between personalities, cultures and landscapes, leaving behind delicate silken threads of suggestion, salvaging what remains of the humanistic in delineating the replicating tragedies and punishments endured by the fallen and the uncomprehending, those who unknowingly share a non-linear time. Like its predecessors, The Slowing Ride reintroduces that rare species, an English-born European poet ‘conjuring extraordinary visions of beauty and despair, joy and horror, revelation and nostalgia’.

Most of the poems examine the themes of beauty and risk, pleasure and danger, in the context of one of three kinds of relationships: to romantic partners, to the spiritual world, and to the world of nature....
