Description
Another powerful collection from the poet who launched the Picador poetry list, author of A Painted Field, which won the Forward Prize for Best First Collection. His main subject is his own detached, fierce, Scottish eye: on landscape and sea, on love, sex, violence. His use of language is deadpan, tense, precise, unforgiving.
