A long awaited collection of poems by Mark Hyatt, one of the great
lost writers of mid-century British poetry. Scarcely published in
his lifetime, Hyatt’s work survives thanks to the intervention
of poets and friends who saved his manuscripts and kept his poems
in circulation. Queer in the decades before Gay Liberation; Romani;
incarcerated in prisons and asylums; illiterate into adulthood:
it’s tempting to read Hyatt according to the familiar script of
the doomed poet, resounding with loneliness and isolation. But his
poetry—“hot and tender,” funny and sad—tells another story:
of love, liberatory commitment, and desire.
