Just finished this splendid autobiography. Sometimes brutally honest reflections from a once troubled younger man to the calmer reflections of a more contented older man. Extraordinary actor. What a life!

this morning, the frost
has teeth-points to puncture skin
like a carnivore

in white-roofed suburbs,
the noise of getting going -
scraping of windscreens

white breath of a dog walker,
different rhythms
