The Glass Enclosure
This is Ian Pople's first collection. His poems illustrate perfectly a mature use of language. An adept use of imagery and form are used as the vehicle to address his, and the readers', conflict between self and the universal diaspora. Pople touches the raw nerve of cultural alienation.
