Difficult Music follows the pattern of a traditional orchestral concert, using form to provide a necessary constraint on a neurologically jumpy mind. From an overture that is a series of poems on a variety of interlinked topics, including religion and the environment, to a concerto made up sonnets on living with Tourette's Syndrome, and on to a symphony-a sequence combining family history, ars poetica, and nature poetry. Together, they show a mind at work in a rich and varied ground, trying to pin down experiences in an ever-changing world.
