Description
Starting on a pavement and ending on a road, Mark Granier’s welcome new collection stays on its feet as it celebrates the strange and sometimes terrifying miracle of being alive. From snow’s ‘glitter-fractals of silence’ to foxes gnawing ‘at the Abbot’s spine’, we trail ‘through each other like rain’. The great wonder to be found in these poems is memorably expressed as ‘something like/ speechlessness/fully dressed.’
