Ian Patterson's Shell Vestige Disputed presents poems which take great pleasure in the mystery of language and the amenability of meaning. Patterson writes with a clear focus on the stress and intonation of words and phrases, crafting complex and puzzling poems which are reminiscent of Prynne and the English surrealists. Shell Vestige Disputed is a collection full of beauty and surprise.
