The Curiosities is the eleventh book of poems from this most inventive and celebrated of British poets.Clustering around the letter 'C', the seventy-some poems that comprise this collection celebrate a lexicon of lived experience through a single letter of the alphabet.Here we find tales of cufflinks and costume, cougars and cochineal, catapults and cavalry, even canoodlings in canoes.With a characteristic sleight of hand, Christopher Reid shifts deftly between seriousness and play, elegy and anarchy in this sometimes-zany, sometimes-haunting compendium of bright-eyed verses.Here and there the story-telling roams and sweeps: here are tales 'for' friends and loved ones, there are tales 'after' the great poets of history.But whoever and whatever the mode of address, these poems are frequently underpinned by a unifying humanity.The Curiosities is a temptatious read, full of wisdom and surprise, humour and lament, and is a poignant and convincing reminder that in a world where 'nobody's allowed to live forever', life is for celebrating, and grasping by the collar.
