Assembly Lines asks what it means to be here and now, in
post-industrial towns and cities of the heartlands that are forever
on the periphery. From schools and workplaces and lives lived in 'a
different town, just like this', these poems take a historical
perspective on the present day from the ground upwards - whether
the geological strata that underpins a 'dithering island' or the
ever-moving turf under a racehorses' hooves. This is a new Midlands
realism, precision-engineered, which seeks wonderment in unlikely
places. By turns both fierce and tender, the poems in Jane
Commane's first book-length collection re-assemble the landscape,
offer up an alternative national curriculum and find ghosts and
strange magic in the machinery of the everyday. Between
disappearances and reformations, the natural and the man-made, the
lines are drawn; you might try to leave your hometown, but it will
never leave you.
