Powerful short book, where the whole is more than the sum of its parts -- the common themes (of the body, decay, food, resurrection) resonate from poem to poem. Like his other book Drysalter, the impact slowly builds and layers as you read through. A true feast for the mind and spirit, no wonder this won the Whitbread when it was published.

CORPUS -Michael Symmons Roberts' ambitious and inventive fourth collection -centres around the body. Mystical, philosophical and erotic, the bodies in these poems move between different worlds -life and after-life, death and resurrection -encountering pathologists' blades, geneticists' maps and the wounds of love and war.Equally at ease with scripture (Jacob wrestling the Angel in CHOREOGRAPHY) and science (MAPPING THE GENOME), these poems are a thrilling blend of modern and ancient wisdom, a profound and lyrical exploration of the mysteries of the body-So the martyrs took the lamb.It tasted rich, steeped in essenceOf anchovy. They picked it cleanAnd found within, a goose, its pink Beak in the lamb's mouth like a tongue. Ranging effortlessly between the physical extremes of death -from putrefaction to purification -and life -drought and flood, hunger and satiation -the poems in Corpus speak most movingly of'living the half-life between two elements', of what it is to be unique and luminously alive.
