"This is a book of fierce clarity and aching beauty: a record of a life weathered, a landscape unsettled, and a future pending." ―Peter Gizzi
Tom Branfoot’s debut poetry collection explores nature during a time of political crisis, drawing its title from the Middle English use of ‘volatile’ to name birds and other winged creatures. Pulling apart what it means to dwell, habitat loss appears synonymous with eviction, and birds become fellow travellers in our precarious present. Produced as a part of a residency at Manchester Cathedral, the long poem "Muminent" is threaded throughout the book engaging with the earliest recorded history of Manchester to consider the body as an archive at risk of disappearance.
Volatile reaches out in solidarity to the dispossessed everywhere who still sing in the wreckage of the now.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Debut poetry collection about crisis and environment from award-winning Northern English working-class poet.Tom Branfoot's debut poetry collection explores nature during a time of political crisis, drawing its title from the Middle English use of 'volatile' to name birds and other winged creatures. Pulling apart what it means to dwell, habitat loss appears synonymous with eviction, and birds become fellow travellers in our precarious present.

Featuring the Forward Prize for Best Single Poem shortlisted 'A Parliament of Jets', these complex, formally daring poems are concerned with the entanglements between personhood, global catastrophes, and ecosystems. These poems swoop between the unpredictable relationship between a son and their alcoholic parent, fighter jets soaring over the Lake District of North West England, and the mercurial rustle between memory and truth when childhood is stored in waterlogged pastures. Volatile reaches out in solidarity to the dispossessed everywhere who still sing in the wreckage of the now. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781068488092
