Description
Ransom is an intense and vivid exploration of liberty and limit, of what it means to be alive, and searches for the possibility of hope in a fallen, wounded world.
The poems in this collection display all the lyrical beauty and metaphysical ambition for which Michael Symmons Roberts' work is acclaimed, but with a new urgency. Three powerful sequences at its heart explore themes of personal grief and loss, cinematic scenes of kidnap and release, narratives of incarnation and atonement.
This is a profound and timely book from one of our finest poets, offering a unique perspective on the human experience.
