Description:
Peter Sacks draws upon his life as an expatriate as well as upon his early years in South Africa, including his time spent in the military, to create a remarkably powerful book of poetry. At turns meditative and narrative, Sacks is unafraid to lay bare in vivid imagery his sense of both personal and historical losses, and his commitment to the works of mourning and of cultural repair.

"Eclectic in manner, austerely beautiful, intellectually challenging, and utterly moving, Natal Command is a book that manages to find the song in suffering even as it reminds us of the suffering in song". -- Alan Shapiro
