Negative Space

Negative Space draws on two recent collections published in Albania, Almost Yesterday and Homo Antarcticus. The latter features one of the central sequences in Negative Space, a long poem tracing the fate of a British Antarctic explorer, Frank Wild, who could adapt to months of near-starvation in sub-zero Antarctica but not to later life back in civilisation, one of a number of poems in the book relating to society's pressure on the individual.
