Turning

Adam Horovitz’s debut collection, Turning, shifts between past and present, the landscapes of his childhood and the modern day. Horovitz examines the death of his mother when he was a child and the end of a recent love affair. He investigates the natural, the man-made and the imagined world. Narratives and histories are stripped to the bone and reconstructed, memory fuses fact with fiction, myth becomes reality and the now becomes then, yet the poems remain deeply rooted in people and place as they turn through time.

“Adam Horovitz writes poems of great beauty and truth; poems which are earned through experience, suffering and love and deployed in a physical language of scrupulous integrity. He is the real deal.”
Carol Ann Duffy

“Adam Horovitz comes of age as a poet with these vivid poems of love and loss, joy and grief, place and memory. Always, he gives the reader the very taste, colour, detail of a house, a kitchen, the valley, the sounds of a garden through an open door. I welcome this passionate collection, the first of many, I hope.”
Gillian Clarke
