Poems whose dialect undergoes constant shift, a wealth of vernacular only loosely bound to time and place: grammar twists and bends as echoes are sounded of an older written language, lively ghosts of speech. ‘It’s as if Corless-Smith manages the almost impossible: to make contemporary techniques combine with the traditional in such a way that he turns on its head both the old and the new’ (Chelsea). Typeset at Five Seasons Press.
