Nick Drake's fourth collection, Out of Range, explores the strange
interconnections and confronting emergencies - the signs, wonders
and alarms - of the early 21st century. Here are elegies for the
Whitechapel Fatberg and incandescent lightbulbs; the life stories
of plastic bottles and ice-core samples; portraits of those living
on the margins of the city streets, and of Voyager 1 crossing the
threshold of the solar system. The past echoes in poems about the
ancient artists who recorded their presence in cave art, a Spanish
missionary thrilled by an Aztec ball game, and a story of gay love
from the Song dynasty. Here too are poems registering the shock and
impact of 'Generation Anthropocene' on Earth's climate and ecology.
Above all, the poems seek to tune in to what is out of range; the
dark matter of mystery, wonder and deep time at the edge of our
senses, at the back of our heads, which poetry makes visible.
