Description

The Resurrectionists by John Challis is a dramatic debut collection that explores the intersection of life and death. In poems that traverse London's markets to the edge of the Western world, Challis uncovers the remnants of ourselves that remain.

These poems journey into a buried landscape, where the veil between the living and the dead is at its thinnest. They examine the unearthing of class divide at gravesides, the rise of political disquiet from the groundwater, and the fragile hope for the future that can be resurrected in times of birth.

Through his work, Challis reveals a world where the living and the dead coexist, often in unexpected ways. This is a powerful and thought-provoking collection that invites readers to consider their place within this complex landscape.
