About the Book

Many of the poems in Timing are hymns to the momentary and the marvelously futile: physical love, football, the preoccupations of patients on a dementia ward, fashion, and poetry itself. Several of the poems were written as performance pieces, as is the case with 'Spunk Talking' – which crescendoes to a shout at the end – were written as performance pieces. Anne Rouse is fascinated by poetry as breath, a paradigm of human vitality. Wherever that vitality begins to be suppressed, through fear, sickness, or the inroads of time, poetry marks the spot. The biggest impediment to personal liberation, however, for all its benefits, is our culture. These compelling poems show Anne Rouse responding to that dilemma both as a satirist and as a lyric poet. Poetry Book Society Recommendation.

About the Author :
Anne Rouse was born in Washington DC and grew up in Virginia. After reading History at the University of London, she worked as a nurse and the director of a mental health charity. Since becoming a freelance writer, she has had many residencies, including visiting fellowships in Glasgow and in autumn 2004 in Belfast. She lives in Hastings. Anne Rouse has published four books with Bloodaxe, the collections Sunset Grill (1993) and Timing (1997) – both Poetry Book Society Recommendations – and The School of Night (2004); and The Upshot: New & Selected Poems (2008), which includes a new collection, The Divided (2008), plus a selection from her first three collections. She reads a half-hour selection of poems on Poetry Quartets 9 (British Council/Bloodaxe Books, 2004).

Review :
Anne Rouse’s poems are watchful and amused, sardonic and appalled. They are also in the best sense political: the big picture of our whole society informs her miniatures of city life where dossers and shopping jostle for attention alongside love and death. Rouse, an American, writes, mostly about London, with such convinced skewing of the expected angles, and with such precise anger and sympathy, that one is inclined to believe her as well as to admire the poems. A sure touch with the rackety underworld, a spare precision and a lyrical elegance…there is no doubt about the quiet strength of her voice.
