Paul Roche is not a household name as a poet. Those who know of him are more likely to know him as Bloomsbury painter Duncan Grant's lover, with whom he shared a decades-long relationship, the younger Roche caring for Grant into his latter years. There are touches of the privileged, upper-class white male who still lives in an Empire in these verses, but I think they are brilliant nonetheless. I highly recommend.
