I want readers to see all the way through its surfaces into the swamp.\" Though the territory of his exploration may be murky and mired--the front lines of war, political entanglements, romantic longing, and human suffering--Motion's conversational tone and lyrical style make for clear, bold poems that speak to contradictions at the heart of the human condition. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether underground in an urban metro, in the poet's home, on the steps leading up to Anne Frank's annex, or wading in the Norfolk broads, Motion's richly imagined landscapes contain unspoken mysteries underneath the poet's candor.
