Folly - Softcover
Mike Stocks's sonnets range across the messy landscape of human behaviour, pinpointing the fault lines in a direct and striking language. Whether dealing in sly humour, savage loss, or all the tragi-comic states in-between, he invariably finds a perspective that commands the attention. The poems in "Folly", with their assured technique and memorable content, demonstrate that the sonnet is a radical and contemporary form, and constitute a debut collection that readers will remember and revisit.
