Summary:

Eamonn Lynskey's poems live on the edge of things - people's ordinary lives as much as global concerns - and like all edges they can be razor-sharp. His is a voice unafraid to speak about political urqencies but also well sourced in everyday language and available form. A thought-provoking, unsettling collection of questions rather than answers: ...My sorrow for you, whale shark and hammerhead and sleek green swordfish suddenly dispossessed of your ancestral homelands. You, crayfish and damselfish, what will you do unhoused from all your fragile labyrinths of coral? Book jacket.
