Fresh Out of the Sky
Fresh Out of the Sky is a book of songs, dreams, laments, narratives and comedies about major life-changes involving country, identity and belonging. The title sequence of the book returns to the terza rima theme of memory, following sequences in George Szirtes' earlier books, such as those about early Budapest childhood explored in Reel, and about growing to adulthood in England in An English Apocalypse. It is about perpetually standing at the edge of change, anticipating it, reflecting on it and dreaming about it.
These are followed by the second part of The Yellow Room, a continuing poem of impossible questions about identity as residual Jewishness, in the form of a dialogue with Szirtes' late father. Here the theme is arrival in England as a child in 1956. After that there is a brief section of bridging poems set in the aftermath of war, upheaval and life in contemporary England
