Simon Armitages new collection is by turns a voice & a chorus: a hyper-vivid array of dramatic monologues allegories parables & tall tales. Here comes everybody: Snoobie & Carla Lippincott Wittmann Yoshioka Bambuck Dr Amsterdam Preminger. The man whose wife drapes a border-curtain across the middle of the marital home; the English astronaut with a terrestrial outlook on life; an orgiastic cast of unreconstructed pie-worshipers at a Northern sculpture farm; the soap-opera supremacists at their zoo-wedding; the driver who picks up hitchhikers as he hurtles towards a head-on collision with Thatcherism; a Christian cheese-shop proprietor in the wrong part of town; the black bear with a dark secret the woman who curates giant snowballs in the chest freezer.

The storyteller who steps in & out of this human tapestry changes trickster-style from poem to poem but retains some identifying traits: the melancholy of the less deceived crossed with an undercover idealism. & he shares with many of his characters a star-gazing capacity for belief or for being genuine in his disbelief. Language is on the loose in these poems which cut & run across the parterre of poetic decorum with their cartoon-strip energies & air of misrule. Armitage creates world after world peculiar yet always particular where the only certainty is the unexpected. ...
