The collection moves across borders and liminal territories: from the northern coast of Iceland to the edges of the Roman Empire. It addresses the displaced and uprooted, and the line between waking and dreaming, life and death. It includes poems about Agincourt, Flanders and Vietnam, and a memorial poem for the victims of the Bataclan in 2015.
The book belongs to Jonathan Cape's Cape Poetry series, with a publication date of 11 April 2019.
For readers of contemporary poetry interested in historical memory, borders and the condition of the displaced.
