The Double-ended Key

Roy Davids’s nature poems have an almost Chinese delicacy of perception about them, a serene and stylish love of the English landscape and classical music.

The collection includes three long elegies: two for his parents –feelings for his father and mother described with a self-revealing honesty which must have taken much courage to achieve; and the third, a celebration of his great friend Ted Hughes.

This is an impressive collection which all its readers will greatly enjoy.
