Book Description:

Andrew Leggett's second collection is stark, bare and unforgettable. In these interconnecting poems, by equal measure serious and darkly comic, the ugly is united with the beautiful to produce a unique aesthetic. Popular culture provides the surreal framework for the author's meditations on death, loss and loneliness, creating a moving overture to playfully grim explorations into religion and the afterlife.
