The two searching sequences that bookend this collection are not so much elegies as unfinished conversations with friends no longer living - friendships lost or neglected, with their closeness and distances sensitively mapped.

Between the Islands is Philip Gross's 26th book of poetry, and his 11th from Bloodaxe.
