In this haunting debut collection, Alex Niven explores a poetic
hinterland that is also a psychological and cultural wilderness.
Adopting a style grounded in the radical minimalism of northern
English modernism and romanticism, Niven writes poems constructed
out of traditional forms cut up and reassembled to produce an
abrupt lyric realism ideally suited to the political subject matter
of his verse. These are poems of anger, mourning, and finally,
extraordinary optimism, announcing the arrival of a historically
lucid new bearing in twenty-first-century British poetry.
