520			_aDelving both into 'the worlds of the mind' and 'where he happens to be,' Owen Marshall brings us poetry that is steeped in the Classics, history, and literature, and yet is alive with the vivid particulars of damp duffle-coats and hot-air balloons, beer and bicycles, willows and skylarks, kauri gum and limestone tunnels. Marshall's work, taut with aphorisms and mining the philosophical, is nevertheless understated and wry. It is as likely to explore the nature of enduring love and the sacrifices made to adhere to a personal morality, as it is to delight in the image of a small child's animal elan on a trampoline. With a crisply erudite vocabulary, yet a direct and lucid manner, Owen Marshall takes us from Gorbio to Nelson, from Turkey to St. Bathan's, from Richard III to resentful schoolboys on detention, from intimate endearments to a portrait of the disillusioned guy in a pub cover band. Marshall's dry, even acerbic, humor and verbal control effect a keen-eyed watch on any melancholia and despair that grow out of staring too long into the fire of human folly.
