Description
Englaland reimagines the Viking panegyric for Æthelstan's army after the Battle of Brunanburh, an unapologetic affirmation of a complex and multifaceted people.
This striking collection brings together a diverse range of voices, from Danish huscarls to Falklands war heroes, in an incendiary celebration of identity and belonging.
Steve Ely's debut poetry collection was nominated for the Forward Prize for Best First Collection in 2013 and the Ted Hughes Award for New Work in Poetry in 2014. Englaland is his first major work.
