Gardens, grotesqueries, historical landscapes, destruction and
darkness, all collide in Tony Williams' explosive new collection
Tony Williams is roaming the earth. The poems in Hawthorn City
record the tales we tell ourselves to make a home in the lives we
find ourselves living. They are songs to family, to stone and
outlawry and refusal, and to the fevered memory which reaches back
beyond birth, past early modern witches and shepherds' songs, past
medieval chronicles and Icelandic sagas, to the ancient
city-states, homely and hellish, which part of the modern
imagination still inhabits. Travelling darker and deeper towards
the state which is both origin and grave, this grotesque comedy of
a book intensifies into a bizarre, baroque vision of the world and
our place in it.
