Gravity as a physical influence, the weight of gravity, and gravity of
thought and action are central to Andrew Sant’s new collection of poems — and so
too is the means of baffling gravity, not the least by the deployment of wit.
Gravity here is also baffling in the alternative sense, as a force or as a
theory, which summons perplexity. These poems, wide ranging in time and place,
are richly textured investigations of the world, its terrain and its people, by
an alert, often restless, informed observer.
