About the Book

A sudden change of light can transform our perception of the familiar world. Holding such moments of tension, John Cassid gains insights into a situation as he shapes a poem around it. In this new group of poems, he has extended his territory to cover apprehensions of time; his progress is wary but determined, and always held in check by the sureness of his craft. The poems are concerned with the idea of time in many of its aspects: with chance and causality, perspective and circumstance, change and persistence, youth and age. They vary in their approach; some are observations, some speculations, some less formally shaped than others. Changes of Light is published simultaneously with The Fountain, a pamphlet comprising those poems from John Cassidy's booklet, The Dancing Man (Poet's Yearbook Award, 1977), which were not included in Cassidy's book, An Attitude of Mind (Hutchinson, 1978). The title-poem, 'The Fountain', was the precursor of the time poems of Changes of Light.

About the Author :
John Cassidy lives in Lancashire, where he was a lecturer in literature and drama in a tertiary college until his retirement. A selection of his poems was included in Poetry Introduction 3 (Faber, 1975). His booklet, The Dancing Man, won the first Poet's Notebook Award in 1977. His first book-length collection, An Attitude of Mind (Hutchinson, 1978), was followed by four Bloodaxe titles: his pamphlets The Fountain (1979) and Changes of Light (1979), and two book-length collections, Night Cries (1992), which was a Poetry Book Society Recommendation, and Walking on Frogs (1989).

Review :
He writes poems that are... a form of dramatic argument, curious and investigative. Cassidy is involved with others in his writing. For him, language can be turned in many different directions according to the relationships that are being formed, the discoveries that are taking place... the poem completes itself by poising between inquiries, balanced, the whole work a form of questioning not actually resolved.
