“Book Descriptions: Astarology explores folklore, mythology and magic, including the magic of everyday things. Mark Valentine finds poetry in the reports sent by rain gauge readers to an Edwardian survey, and in the advertisements of 1940s fortune-tellers; in tending a fire and in following the course of a brook. He also celebrates eccentric lives and ideas. This is modernist poetry that is willing to engage with the elemental and the eerie, the curious and the uncanny.” DRIVE
