Summary On slender toes Down by the water's edge Two egrets effortlessly hold their pose In sedge. They hold their pose. This show, With all chinoiserie's Appeal, must be illusory. And so It is. Stephen Edgar's nimble-footed new collection Transparencies extends his exploration of the world's visual aspect, both in itself and as a screen for the mind's projections. He questions, in the words of Denis O'Donoghue, 'the delusion by which we think that reality coincides at every point with its appearances'. The transparencies of the title are both the daylit images of the natural world, in all their hallucinatory strangeness and beauty, and the occasions they offer us to look through them, now into deep time, as in 'Day Book' and 'The Mechanicals', now into the parallel universe of the dead, as in 'The Returns', or into the world within this one, as in 'There'. Edgar's poems look out and reach in. They probe, even as they have an exquisite ear. As well as moving poems on his late mother, to whom the book is dedicated, Transparencies has many pleasures. One of them is waiting for the delayed rhyme on 'David Attenborough'.
