These are poems which welcome distraction and which seem to have a lasting interest in registering and reproducing a sense of the uncanny. The strategies adopted veer between lyric mannerism and reconstructed second-hand words and, taken together, chart a lazy form of investigative political thinking through the last three decades of the twentieth century.
