Description

Ian Parks' new collection explores the tensions between poetry and politics, the public and the private. Accompanied by the voices of those who have been lost to history, Parks delves into sites of painful memory, from industrial landscapes to forgotten corners of Europe. Through his work, Parks asks questions about class, identity, and the responsibilities of the individual in the face of state oppression. His poetry is a search for what it means to be a citizen rather than a subject. Written from the sharp edge of the north, Citizens offers a powerful exploration of the complexities of belonging and the power of language to shape our understanding of ourselves and our place in the world.
