Description
Nick Laird's powerful new collection reflects on the strange and chaotic times we live in. Reeling in the face of collapsing systems and the banalities and distortions of modern life, the poet confronts age-old anxieties, questions of aloneness, friendship, illness and death, the push and pull of daily existence. At the heart of the collection lies the title sequence 'Up Late', a profound meditation on a father's dying. This is a book that conveys both intense emotion and great tenderness, revealing a raw sense of politics and injustice in its exploration of the human experience.
