In this impressive debut, Nick Laird explores the sharp edge of
relationships, from the intimacy of lovers to the brutality of
political violence. Journeying between his native Ulster and his
adopted London, he balances ideas of home and flight, the need for
belonging and the need to remain outside. Formally deft,
rhetorically fresh, these poems never shy from difficult choices,
exploring cruelty and vengeance wherever they may be found: in
love, in work and against political backdrops. But these are brave,
resolute writings that resist despair at all times, affirming
instead the need to rebuild and to right oneself, to dust down and
carry on.
