Description
Jacob Polley's third collection, The Havocs, marks a new direction in his work. His poems often explore the strange and unknown, drawing on folkloric traditions and forms from older English literature. Polley's work remains focused on our fundamental concerns: loss of faith, working lives, irrational fears, and loves. In The Havocs, he charts a bold new path that extends his virtuosic range of form and address. This collection is a testament to Polley's skill as a poet, offering a unique blend of the familiar and the unsettling.
