More poetry, although altogether different from my more recent fare.
Legacies of violence (in this case, state-sanctioned/ordained) abound, as Bernard explores the historic New Cross fire and its resonances in contemporary and historic politics and culture. Mirrors and echoes and ghosts populate the poems, grounded to the Earth by the material reality of what they've left behind.
