The poems in The Middle Years revisit familiar themes, pondering metaphysics, unpacking family history, puzzling over time, thinking about politics and violence, examining the nature of fiction. Additionally, poems such as ‘Journey’ and ‘Fields’ signal a more conscious exploration self-reflexive ideas through allegory, exploring the idea that, aside of whatever else a poem might be about, it is also always a thesis on poetry.
