Shortlisted for the 2017 Ted Hughes Award. Shortlisted for the 2017
T.S. Eliot Prize. In These Days of Prohibition is Caroline Bird's
fifth Carcanet collection. As always, she is a poet of dark
hilarity and telling social comment. Shifting between poetic and
vulgar registers, the surreal imagery of her early work is
re-deployed to venture into the badlands of the human psyche. Her
poems hold their subjects in an unflinching grip, addressing faces
behind the veneer, asking what it is that keeps us alive. These
days of prohibition are days of intoxication and inebriation, rehab
in a desert and adultery for atheists, until finally Bird edges us
out of danger, `revving on a wish'.
