Here's the Economist write-up:
"A British poet married to an Iranian, Dick Davis teaches Persian literature in the United States. The cultural diversity of his life is reflected in the variety of his poems--in their skilfully handled formal range, in the scope of their subject-matter and in their commitment to an ideal of civilised life shared by many cultures. 'Belonging' is a profound and beautiful collection, which stimulates, dazzles, suprises and delights."
