In The Clinic, Memory, Elaine Feinstein has selected poems from the last half century of her writing life. They range widely: tender, early lyrics from In a Green Eye; elegies for her father and close friends, amused reflections on ageing and longer poems such as Gold, based on the life of Lorenzo da Ponte, Mozarts librettist, or the lot of refugees in Migration. Other poems explore the conflicts in a long marriage, teased out most poignantly in poems for her late husband in Talking to the Dead.
