Ross Bolleter is an avant-garde composer and impresario of ruined piano players. In Piano Hill he expands his creative territory with a striking new collection of original poetry.

Meditations on the big themes of desire, love, death, and the passing of time, these are poems of celebration and regret, intimacy and broad sympathy.

They encompass personal lyrics, contemplation, narrative and an extraordinary poem sequence (‘Suite for Ruined Piano’) where poet, composer and performer meet.
