One of the finest and most moving collections of poetry this year may well turn out to be this new one from Christopher Reid, A Scattering, launched in Oxford last weekend and published by Areté Books. The book is a tribute to his wife, Lucinda, who died in October 2005 and it consists of four poetic sequences, the first written during her final illness, and the other three at intervals after her death. It is highly recommended.The book can be ordered from Areté, postage free, for £9 from Areté, 8 New College Lane, Oxford OX1 3BN
