Description
Assembly Lines asks what it means to be here and now, in post-industrial towns and cities that are forever on the periphery. From schools and workplaces to lives lived in 'a different town, just like this', these poems take a historical perspective on the present day from the ground upwards.
The poems in Jane Commane's first book-length collection re-assemble the landscape, offering an alternative national curriculum and finding ghosts and strange magic in the machinery of the everyday. By turns both fierce and tender, they seek wonderment in unlikely places, between disappearances and reformations, where the natural and man-made intersect.
The result is a new Midlands realism, precision-engineered to reveal the beauty in the ordinary and the extraordinary that lies just beneath the surface of our daily lives. The lines are drawn; you might try to leave your hometown, but it will never leave you.
