Synopsis "Billy Goat"

As a 2nd book should be, Craig Martin Getz's Billy Goat signifies a huge step from his wonderful debut, Suicide,1964. The writing is confident and communicative, intimate without being overly confidential. I felt as though I was sitting next to him in a bar as he was reminiscing and relating that reminiscing to the man he is; not simply retelling the past but owning it. "Godhavn", a tour de force. "Moon Tree", outstanding. I admire the way he subliminally references other poems by echoing a simple word like blue or plane linking in my mind to the stainless steel windmills, all combining to give a sense of connectivity, a linking of language if not necessarily the narrative. Great craftsmanship. At times the poetry seems to elide into prose but the dialogue is always poetic, and he's not afraid to go there: not bullied by form. "A Lesson in Hiking", what a cracking poem to end on, packed with ideas for the reader to leave the book with: "...this vanishing world / crisscrossed by the sword gashes of planes losing their points", reminds me of the eminent Welsh poet R.S. Thomas. And there it is, Chagall's goat, a melancholic reminder of simpler times. Perfect. This is the most enjoyable book I've read in a long time. David Batten, author of Winterreise
