- About the Book
-
No one writes like John Mateer. No one makes such a singular knot of Africa, Asia and Australia, and no one combines observation and metaphysics in quite the way he does’ — Kevin Hart.
‘This, his finest book yet, is a book which can be read everywhere English is spoken. Engaged, at times anguished, always finely tuned, these are poems written as much at the frontier of a language as of a psyche’ — Martin Harrison. - Category
