Exploring how humanity is rooted in and linked to everywhere and
everything, David Batten brought a fresh voice and precise language
to his reflective, but ultimately hopeful debut, Transhumance. In
Untergang, he moves from the open, cosmic, affirming tone to a
sequence that is internally reflective - darker, almost
claustrophobic. Whereas his first collection ended on the plateau,
in the light, anticipating summer, Untergang starts indoors in the
dark of a power cut in the depth of winter and finishes inside the
writer's ribcage, where it is even darker. This is not a world
without hope, but it is one that urgently needs to wake, to face
the dark and change it. Increasingly confident, Batten uses his
distinctive, lyrical voice as a call to reflect on what might
really matter in life.
