Christian Frank's second collection moves through the landscapes of a life examined honestly - terraced streets that finally feel like home, rivers that hold baptism and drowning in the same breath, ambulances that become chapels, and empty schools where the ghost of a boy still raises his hand.
Drawing on three decades of archived writing - bedtime stories told to children, letters sent to the dying, dialogues with his own conscience - Frank mines the past not for nostalgia but for truth. These are poems about what Britain is becoming, what conscience costs, what sacrifice looks like when nobody is watching, and what it means to belong somewhere so completely that even the ugly parts feel like yours.
Unafraid of faith, unafraid of doubt, and unafraid of the silence that follows both, What We Are Made Of asks the questions most poetry is too careful to ask - and trusts the reader to find their own answers.
