Pluto – The Non-planet, The Ex-planet – Is The Dominant Celestial Influence In Glyn Maxwell’s New Collection: Pluto Is A Book About Change, The Before-and-after Of Love, The Aftermath Of Loss: Change Of Status And Station, Home And Place, Of Tense And Pronoun. It Also Marks A Radical Departure For One Of Our Most Celebrated English Poets: His Formidable Skills As A Rhetorician And Dramatist Are Suddenly Directed Inwardly, To Produce Poems Of Brutal Self-examination, Raw Elegy, And Strange Songs Of The Kind Those Bruising Encounters Often Leave Us Singing To Ourselves...--back Cover.
