Description
unsettled' is a collection of broad thematic and formal range. Laing renders our history, our current ecological crisis and some of our contemporary mores into a rich, tumbling music, as memorable as it is accessible. The poems that revisit the author's past are especially poignant: closing some doors as the windows open to poetry's crisp, delicious air.
