Good Ground by Olly Todd is an expansive and sharply observed collection that blends memoir, cultural commentary, and lyric digression with a skater's eye for momentum and terrain. Spanning London and Los Angeles, Cumbria and San Francisco, the poems range across landscapes both urban and domestic, attentive to the textures of language, architecture, and memory. Todd's lines are deft and searching, often elliptical yet richly referential, moving fluidly between anecdote, elegy, and philosophical aside. This is a work of subtle composition and wide imaginative scope, animated by restlessness, warmth, and formal intelligence.
