Geoff Hattersley is a poet of the people, despairing but wisely humorous, melancholic with a comic edge. The apparent simplicity of these poems belies a shrewd intelligence as much in tune with larger events as with the daily happenings that seem to form their subject matter. His poetic allegiances are mainly with contemporary American writers, but his territory is the human condition and experience as seen from Yorkshire.
