About this title

Synopsis

Steph Morris achieves a fine engagement between affection and refined outrage across a sequence of poems that excited me for their focus on the family and the nation. A hugely enjoyable debut!

Daljit Nagra

Like the plants he nurtures as a gardener, Steph Morris's poems are fed by a desire to believe the world is a benevolent place; but his jaunty humour and O'Haraesque casualness can often mask his more serious concerns about the environment and our attitude towards it. This is a playful and exuberant debut from a poet with a wonderfully original voice.
