Join Philip Gross as he reads from his latest poetry collection. Following his much praised, Deep Field, in which he explored the loosening connections between the self and language in his refugee father's old age, comes the collection Later.

His new book goes further, through the failing of the body and the mind's weakening hold on the borderline between the present and the past. Philip Gross writes poetry that proves it can be trusted with the raw yet essential elements of life.

Philip is the author of several poetry collections, including The Ice Factory; Cat's Whisker; The Son of the Duke of Nowhere; I.D. and The Wasting Game, selected poems from all of which are collected in Changes of Address: Poems 1980­1998, a Poetry Book Society Special Commendation.

“Philip Gross knows how to make silence and suggestion resonate… he touches an alien, intractable dimension… Gross’s poems are about lost bearings and blurred frontiers” – Terry Eagleton, Independent on Sunday.
