Poetry. In THE MELANCHOLY OF ANATOMY; his ninth collection of poetry; Martin Corless-Smith turns his attention towards ageing and mortality; and in particular to the death of his father. Shifting between formal verse and prose; from the metaphysical to the whimsical; from surreal to anecdotal; the book moves between poetic articulations as a mind might through memories; sifting to find anything to hold on to as everything flows and falls away. At times melancholic at times nihilistic at times luminous and dark; this collection asks questions about poetry; memory and what it is to have loved and lived.
