Synopsis "Word and Stone"
Word and Stone is questioning poetry, which explores the ground between language that seeks meaning, and the obduracy of matter, and between life and what seems dead. Its concern is with a sense of the sacred, and the possibility of renewing words such as 'spirit' and 'soul' in a materialist culture. But it celebrates the material world too, drawing upon nature and history in Hooker's native Hampshire and his adoptive South Wales. It contains a number of elegies, paying tribute to friends, and to poets such as T. S. Eliot, David Gascoyne, and Christopher Middleton, and the Americans James Schuyler and Charles Reznikoff. Word and Stone is concerned overall with 'quickness' how words may animate stone, and intimate the life of the dead.
