Riassunto

Tricks of the mind and travails of the flesh, dream-life and class politics, mystery and music, sexual obsession and the consolations of drink - all play their part in Nil Nil, Don Paterson's first collection of poems. A formidable stylist, Paterson brings great skill and imaginative daring to bear on subject matter that is always of real importance, and frequently disturbing.
