Thank you for this analysis concerning one of my very favourite poets. If this poem is representative of the collection as a whole, it will send me to my local independent bookshop to purchase a copy.
I love John Burnside and am sad that no new collections will be available for us to read. Your analysis really illuminated this poem for me, its grave aspects, yet almost raising a smile at points. Thank you.

Yes, thank you so much, very thoughtful and perceptive.
Burnside had such a marvellous ease and fluidity, an unobtrusive music.
Really interesting article on a beautiful and thought-provoking poem.
