This week’s Friday Poem is ‘Afternoons Go Nowhere’ by Sheenagh Pugh, the title poem from her latest collection.
A fascination for history, both as a source of human drama and a field for artful speculation, characterises this collection of poems by Sheenagh Pugh. In Afternoons Go Nowhere the past seems more relevant to the present than ever, human nature never entirely predictable and often non-sensical, the natural world seeming full of a paradoxical beauty. Complex but with clear themes and lucid, musical language, Sheenagh Pugh’s tenth collection will delight discriminating readers.

One of my favourite poems of all time – and reminds me that the time of year when Afternoons go Nowhere – even in the far south of the UK – will soon be here.
