Description
Alasdair Paterson's fourth collection from Shearsman Books is a diverse and eclectic exploration of poetry, drawing on his Scottish childhood, personal experiences, and observations of the natural world.
The spirit of Mercury, patron of tricksters and keeper of boundaries, is a recurring theme in this latest work, as Paterson navigates the complexities of life and language.
With its unique blend of poetry and literary references, Words of Mercury offers a thought-provoking and often provocative reading experience.
