Strange Meetings provides a highly original account of the War Poets of 1914-1918, written through a series of actual encounters, or near-encounters, from Siegfried Sassoon's first, blushing meeting with Rupert Brooke over kidneys and bacon at Eddie Marsh's breakfasts before the war, through famous moments like Sassoon's encouragement of Owen when both are in hospital at the same time; on to the poignant meeting between Edward Thomas's widow and Ivor Gurney in 1932; and the last, strange lunch and 'longish talk' of Sassoon and David Jones in 1964, half a century after the great war began. Among the other poets and writers we encounter are Vera Brittain, Roland Leighton, Robert Graves, Isaac Rosenberg, Robert Nichols and Edmund Blunden. Ricketts's unusual approach allows him to follow their relationships, marking their responses to each other's work and showing how these affected their own poetry - one potent strand, for example, is the profound influence of Brooke, both as a model to follow and a burden to reject. The stories become intensely personal and vivid - we come to know each of the poets, their family and intellectual backgrounds and their very different personalities. And while the accounts of individual lives achieve the imaginative vividness of a novel, they also give us an entirely fresh sense of Georgian poetry, conveying all the excitement and frustration of poetic creation, and demonstrating how the whole notion of what poetry should be 'about' became fractured and changed for ever by the terrible experiences of the war.

Marcellian had seen death in all it shapes and sizes in most quarters of the globe. He was never shocked. But when he stood below the burning lights of the police mortuary and identified the face he remembered from his childhood, his life changed direction for ever. It was the start of a journey; a journey that would take him into a dark past; a journey that would show him the cruel ways of the world; a journey that would teach the true meaning of life. This is a tale of four people whose paths are drawn inextricably together as they follow their destinies through the violent years of World War II and the menacing Cold War years that followed. The narrative steers a course from the ivory towers of Cambridge to the battlefields of northern France; from the windswept deserts of north Africa to the frozen hillsides of German-occupied Norway; from the ruins of 1950s West Berlin to the dark world of the British intelligence services. And for two of them, Marcellian and Gabby, thrown together by the pain of their memories, there is at last peace, like a white light shining in the dark; a story of unexpected love, chiselled out of the granite of experience, simple but true. 'At the end of it all, what is there but the beauty of a blue sky on a summer's day and the love of another?'
