It includes poems about Agincourt, Flanders and Vietnam, and a memorial poem for the victims of the Bataclan in 2015.
The book belongs to Jonathan Cape's Cape Poetry series, with a publication date of April 11, 2019.
For readers of contemporary poetry interested in historical memory, borders and the condition of the displaced.
