Pandorama
$9.99
Ian Duhig is justly celebrated for his inimitable style, at once humorous, erudite, and compassionate; his poetry sits at the intersection of the literary and folk traditions, and moves in an easy and masterly fashion between them. While this has lent his verse an enviable musicality and force, it has also written him a visa to places poets rarely venture.
Pandorama sees Duhig mining poems and songs from the work-camps of England's itinerant navvies, jihadist training-grounds on the Yorkshire moors, football terraces, and meetings of the National Fancy Rat Society - and painting a far truer picture of Britain's cultural diversity than most documentary accounts are prepared to give us.
