Description
An exquisite collection of new and selected verse.
The existential poetry of Chris Tutton is imbued with an uncommon sensitivity. In this, his eighth collection, familiar notions of love, loss, identity, communication, vulnerability, language and truth are exquisitely deconstructed, affectingly re-evaluated; laid bare and scrutinised with a philosopher's eye.
"Love in action is a harsh and dreadful thing compared with love in dreams" Fyodor Dostoevsky
