These new poems use tense couplets and other 'centrifugal' forms to
centre their energies in nodes of impacted attention. They feature
territories as dispersed as Sheppard's local City of Culture and
the global city of division and political murder of the title poem.
The scar of history is drawn across the face of time, as in tragic
Riga where we find reflections on artefacts of survival. Yet a
series of metapoems brings agency and wonder to the idea of the
poem, always seeing the world as well as itself, in perceptual
double-takes that tease away at the meaning of the poetic act:
"You'll never finish reading/ the poem in the book with reality
pulling itself/ inside out before your eyes."
