The Brink

Jacob Polley

£9.99

In their formal grace and charge, Jacob’s poems are uniquely alive to the possibilities of their subjects – the sea, the land, the home, the very brink of things, where their identities are both sharpest and most unstable.

This debut collection gives readers their first chance to see Polley’s transforming imagination in action, where a jar of honey becomes ‘…the sun, all flesh and no bones/but for the floating knuckle/of honeycomb/attesting to the nature of the struggle’
