Winner of the 2015 Guardian First Book Award Winner of the 2015 Fenton Aldeburgh First Collection Prize Shortlisted for the 2015 Costa Poetry Prize Shortlisted for the 2015 Forward Prize for Best First Collection Raw & urgent these poems are hymns to the male body
- to male friendship & male love
- muscular sometimes shocking but always deeply moving We are witness here to an almost religious celebration of the flesh a flesh vital with the vulnerability of love & loss to desire & its departure In an extraordinary blend of Mc Millan's own colloquial Yorkshire rhythms with a sinewy Metaphysical music & Thom Gunn's torque & speed
- your kiss was deep enough to stand in'
- the poems in this first collection confront what it is to be a man & interrogate the very idea of masculinity This is poetry where every instance of human connection from the casual encounter to the intimate relationship becomes redeemable & revelatory Dispensing with conventional punctuation the poet is attentive & alert to the quality of breathing giving the work an extraordinary sense of being vividly poised & present
- drawing lines that are deft lyrical & perfectly pitched from a world of urban dereliction An elegant stylist & unfashionably honest poet Mc Millan's eye & ear are tuned exactly to both the mechanics of the body & the miracles of the heart
