Fence is an epic of fragments that is at once beautiful and
beautifully strange. In his exploration of the vast, frozen
Svalbard islands, poet and geographer Tim Cresswell has created a
kind of travel poetry whose taut, minimalist lyric synthesises
subjects as diverse as history, politics and Arctic ecology.
Echoing the mournful atmospherics of the great Anglo-Saxon elegies,
this book-length poem is a powerful meditation on places that are
slipping away, where 'compass gone haywire / so north'.
