The best ink stones are slates from Chinese riverbeds, but in the
long history of their use these have all been found. as one expert
writes, "the better the stone, the smaller and more consistent the
particles will be and the denser the ink". These poems by Jamie
McKendrick have a remarkable density of ink. They explore the
grain, or "tooth" of the natural world with unusual and
discomforting detail at the same time as they chart the medium they
work in - not only what the eye sees, but the eye itself: its
structure and structurings. These poems open onto conflicting
perspectives of home and abroad, the domestic and the wild, the
natural and the uncanny, elegy and celebration.
