Lies Blurring Here by Adam Piette is a richly textured, formally various collection that thinks through dream, memory, and perception as mutable states where self and world repeatedly unfasten. Moving between nocturnes, necropastorals, ekphrastic sequences, and lyric meditations, the book is steeped in intertextual conversation, from Apollinaire and Dickinson to Kafka, Dante, Sappho and Lully, yet remains acutely local in its attention to Derbyshire walks, domestic rooms, and specific weathers. Piette's language is intricate and sonic, alive to etymology, pun, and echo, while the poems' architectures create lattices of recurrence and slant return. Throughout, the work tests how consciousness is patterned by history, art, and technology, and how grief, love, and political unease register in the smallest shifts of light or sound. Lies Blurring Here is a dense, luminous, and deeply relational poetry of thinking and feeling in motion.
