Description

Nick Laird's fourth collection effortlessly spans the Atlantic, combining the acoustic expansiveness of Whitman or Ashbery with the lyricism of his forebears Heaney, MacNeice and Yeats. In 'Feel Free', Laird explores the sundry patterns of freedom and constraint - the family, the impress of history, the body itself - and how we might transcend them. With characteristic variety, invention and wit, Laird's poetry takes on a range of forms, from elegies to monologues, formal poems to free verse. This is a poet who seeks to understand the complexities of human experience, and to express them in language that is both precise and evocative. Through his work, Laird offers a nuanced exploration of what it means to be free - and how we might navigate the tensions between freedom and constraint.
