About the Book

‘John Kinsella’s poems are a very rare feat: they are narratives of feeling. Vivid sight — of landscapes, of animals, of human forms in distant light, becomes insight. There is, often, the shock of the new. But somehow awaited, even familiar. Which is the homecoming of a true poet’ — George Steiner.

In The Hunt particular geographies are in play with language and history. There is a fascination with form, style and tone. In wonderfully resonant poems such as ‘Wheatlands’ we are reading works that are blacker and stranger than we’ve seen before in Kinsella.
