These are hymns and elegies; protest songs and battle cries as
Jones speaks to and for the disaffected: 'We are the tapestry / The
crackling cracks of modernity / Dislocated desperations stitched
together / By the disparate verses of our skin / I write therefore
we exist / We exist therefore i write / And from this page this
scream.' In this new anniversary edition some of the poems - like
his popular, ever-evolving 'the guerilla tapestry' - have been
reworked for 2021, taking in the contemporary concerns of Brexit,
Extinction Rebellion, Black Lives Matter, Yes Cymru, food banks,
asylum seekers and zero hour workers. 28 new poems turn their gaze
to the personal, covering grief and loss, broken trust and
marriage, betrayal and forgiveness, haunted by ghosts of both the
living and the dead. An inventory of scars where love once lived.
fuse / fracture also includes a selection of poems from his other
publications over the past two decades: Darkness is Where the Stars
Are (Cinnamon Press, 2008), The Aspirations of Poverty (Red Poets
Press, 2017) and My Bright Shadow (Rough Trade Books, 2020) as well
as some of his lyrics from James Dean Bradfield's recent album Even
in Exile (BMG Music Publishing, 2020
