Description

The first selection of Sosnowski's poetry available in England, spanning his entire career. His approach to language, literature and the representation of experience is simultaneously resonant and strange, a cocktail party where lowlifes and sophisticates hobnob with French theorists and British glam rockers, unsettling the reader with the hard accuracy of their pronouncements.
