Great Regulars: A park's "benches" and "trees"

are overlaid with ghosts of the city's seafaring past, the "you" of the poem "mending ship's sails on the dilapidated bandstand"; in other poems the city is "ruled by wolves" or devoured by its citizens, "gnawing at bricks . . . /Gobbling cornice like icing".

from Sarah Crown: The Guardian: Harbour bound
