Poetry from the UK & Ireland
Over 150 titles of contemporary poetry from the UK and Ireland.

From the cliff of the title, the self jumps with a seriously philosophic humour away from the edge of the known self; away from the edge of the known land; away from the edge of the known language. These poems pull off surprising feats along the precarious edge of predictability.

Lithium
