Tonight the Summer's Over

About this book

A first collection from a reviewer, editor, and scholar of poetry, Tonight the Summer's Over explores the themes of belonging and estrangement with precise resonance. Born in Belfast but brought up in rural Lincolnshire, England, Rory Waterman turns an unblinking eye on his own childhood, caught between two countries, two cultures, and two parents. The poems rise above the level of mere autobiography, however, rooted as they are in a broader concern for the inconsistencies of the human experience.
