Description
xSerious, comic, brave, cowardly, engaged, disengaged, urgent, unurgent, chattering chiffchaff, talking horses, unpretentious, pretentious: Mark Waldron's expansive fifth collection encompasses it all.
There are a series of fairytale poems, and others which give unfettered voice to the character of Marcie, a character who has appeared in Mark Waldron's previous books. But behind the humour and playfulness, there is always something deeply unmeant, meant. Readers of Mark Waldron's previous collections will find all of his trademark wit and imagination here, as well as new poetic territory as Waldron continues to develop his distinctive voice.
