News at Eleven: . . . the barred owl calls

from the well of my mind,
more echo than thought, as it fades through the wind
and flickers away to the silence beyond
like the voice, in myself, of another.

His [John Burnside's] poetry is best when dwelling in possibility, the imagination having been skilfully persuaded, by rhythm and by image, to postpone making up its mind indefinitely.

from The Guardian: Black Cat Bone by John Burnside--review
