Description

In 1987, Ted Walker's wife died. The Last of England is a poet's response to grief. It tells of his attempt to escape bitterness and self-pity in Spain, of his return to an England that despite his disillusionment he still called home. He tells of his wife's long illness and his own struggle to accept how much of himself was lost in losing her. With matter-of-fact detail he celebrated their love and records his own gradual renewal of spirit.
