A new collection from the poet shortlisted for Forward Prize for best first collection In Search of Home moves around a single theme with extraordinary range.
Accomplished and intelligent, this is poetry that always satisfies: witty, literate, compassionate and beautifully measured, Chris Considine explores what it means to belong, what might constitute identity, what we might mean by home when:<> I m little more than shreds snagged on nails
of this and that loved and abandoned place
