The poems in The Ark explore questions that hover on the borderlines of what 'is' and what 'seems to be', of life and death, of truth and lies. In a complex, often dark, collection, Peter Scupham steers his 'ark' to 'its safe and certain loss', with a freight of dreams, memories, terrors, gifts. Four very different sequences hold the collection together: an experimental and mysterious sequence 'Accident'; 'Annunciations'; 'Nacht und Nebel' (Night and Fog); and 'A Habitat' - a group about the finding and retrieval of an old house from its ghostly past.
