Sarajevo Roses is Rory Watermans second collection of poems. From the start we are in the company of a poet on the move . On sleeper trains, in cars and on foot, Waterman takes us into Mediterranean Europe, to Palmas Bellver Castle, to Venice, to Kruje, to the Italian ghost-town Craco, and to St Peters Basilica in Vatican City, where selfie-sticks dance before us at the altar. Sarajevos neatened muddle of terracotta and concrete is twinned with the church spires and rain-bright roofs of the poets former hometown, Lincoln. The Sarajevo rose of the books title - a mortar crater filled with red resin, in remembrance - is less an overarching symbol here than one example of the past inscribed upon the present - culturally in our architecture, individually on our bodies - and of the instinct to preserve wounds as a mark of respect, or warning. Surrounded by the war-shaped, memorial landscapes of Europe, the poet is faced by those smaller wars and memorials one carries within, marks left by lovers, friends, relations, and past selves.
