Synopsis

After mapping Britain's national decline over thirty years through 25 books of poetry, Peter Reading has reinvented himself as a writer in his 21st-century work. The bitter social critic has become poetry's Millennial prophet of doom, directing his venom and sorrow at the destruction of the world s wildlife and environment. His latest book -273.15 [absolute zero] is a lament, a tirade, a disaster warning, and an anthropologist s catalogue of our final expedition addressed to an earlier survivor of global catastrophe, Noah of the Flood.
