This posthumous collection by Gavin Selerie brings together all the uncollected poems from the last phase of his life - fewer than might have expected perhaps, as he was also busy in the final part of his life with the composition of a memoir of his visit to the USA in the late 1960s. That memoir, Edges of Memory, will be published in due course.
As Robert Hampson's obituary details, Gavin's work tended towards long forms, based on extensive research, although shorter works did crop up throughout his life, as evidenced by the large volume of Collected Sonnets (Shearsman Books, 2019). These last poetic forays are shorter poems, although inevitably they also include a long-ish sequence centred on the author's favourite London haunt of Cricklewood.
