A collection of poems.

Presents the author's first collection since his "Collected Poems" and the analysis memoir, "Dreaming Arrival", published by Shearsman in 2008.

Presents a series of very personal reflections on the writing life set in the context of the author's experience of psychoanalysis. This book looks not only at the way 'therapy' affects writing, but also at how the writing may affect the process of the therapy itself.

Its Halting Measure covers a range of themes but there is a constant preoccupation with the problems and ambiguities surrounding the making of poems, "our words like scented gardens for the blind".

John Welch's fifth collection of poems, this consists of material composed over the past six years, and contains work that arises both from physical illness and psycho-analysis, as well as a number of meditative pieces on place.
