In Simon Armitage's work, there has always been a territory he
identifies as 'a twilight zone' where poetry and song lyric
converge. He has explored it through numerous enterprises - most
recently with the 'ambient post-rock' band Land Yacht Regatta. Many
of the lyrics collected here were written for LYR. Others are drawn
from Armitage's days with the DIY indie band The Scaremongers,
various film and theatre productions including Songbirds and the
BAFTA-winning Feltham Sings, and other miscellaneous ventures. The
volume's 'Intro' charts these projects and the blurred origins of
ritualised language, while its 'Outro' offers contextualising notes
and anecdotal insights. Never Good with Horses further demonstrates
the rich range of Armitage's repertoire and celebrates his ear for
the music of language, harnessed here for the page.
