Description
Miriam Gamble's third collection of poetry is a journey through surreal landscapes both of the world and of the mind. By turns uncanny, dark, poignant and uproarious, What Planet probes chaos and madness in a post-truth world. Gamble's new work is formally adventurous, stretching syntax and jumbling the solid and spectral, while also being conceptually distinctive. This collection is pained by loss, yet passionate to connect with life's 'vacated' corners - even if the act of remembering is as much creation as recovery.
