Clive James` power as a poet has increased year by year, & there has been no stronger evidence for this than Nefertiti in the Flak Tower. Here, his polymathic learning & technical virtuosity are worn more lightly than ever; the effect is merely to produce a deep sense of trust into which the reader gratefully sinks, knowing they are in the presence of a master. The most obvious token of that mastery is the book`s breathtaking range of theme: there are moving elegies, a meditation on the later Yeats, a Hollywood Iliad, odes to rare orchids, wartime typewriters & sharks -- as well as a poem on the fate of Queen Nefertiti in Nazi Germany. But despite the dizzying variety, James` poetic intention becomes increasingly clear: what marks this new collection out is his intensified concentration on the individual poem as self-contained universe. Poetry is a practice he compares (in ` Numismatics`) to striking new coin; & Nefertiti in the Flak Tower is a treasure-chest of one-off marvels, with each poem a twin-sided, perfect human balance of the unashamedly joyous & the deadly serious, `whose play of light pays tribute to the dark`. Praise for Angels Over Elsinore: ` The new poems again apply faultless technique to subject matter that ranges in weight from helium to promethium.. . These poems are dazzling` Prospect ` There is a casually rich mix of cultural allusions, but the most important quality is complete clarity` Independent ...

- MAP TITLES: the grids shown on our website serve both the civilian & the military 1:50, 000 topographic series. Although the areas covered by maps in both series are identical (apart from some border or coastal sheets), occasionally map titles differ – only one title is shown on the grid, usually the military one. In Galicia, the Basque country & in the Catalan speaking areas the tendency now is to use local place names rather than the often better known Castilian ones. Where possible, both versions are included in our titles. Map titles listed on our website are based on information received by us at the time of publication, but sometimes maps arrive showing a completely different title! As long as the map number is as ordered, the correct map has been supplied.
