Book Description
Awarded the Forward Prize Best First Collection 2003. One of
the ten poets anthologised in 'Anvil New Poets 3' (2001), A.B. Jackson was
singled out by John Greening in Poetry Review for his 'demanding and
ambitious work: direct, sharp in manner, with an intellectual edge, a
valedictory quality.' Jackson's solo debut builds upon these elements,
uniting a clipped, precise style with a mercurial range of subject matter:
the ambiguities of religious symbolism, personal heartbreak, David Hume,
R.D. Laing, The Blue Nile and Schopenhauer.
