In this exciting new pamphlet, Ben Verinder takes flight to survey the human landscape.
At times sad and strange, at others darkly funny, these poems are marked by a deft use of language, surprising conceits, an elegant music and a riot of birdlife.
Throughout many of the poems there is a sense of humans and birds uneasily sharing the same space and while this work laments both landscape and loved ones, it opens out into broader panoramas - a Yorkshire maggot farm, the smallest distillery in Scotland, a warehouse full of superannuated waxworks and an international crying competition.
This is precise, inventive, well-executed work.
