Shortlisted for the Dylan Thomas Prize Shortlisted for the Michael Murphy Memorial Prize This remarkable debut sees tales of treachery, guilt and love play out against the whole canvas of history. Empires rise and fall; the beasts of Britain stalk from the age of Rome to the new age of austerity; heroes and villains take their stands on the Sussex Downs and on the Pennines, from the Death Star to Dancing on Ice. A courageous study of the violence and beauty of belonging, this book also celebrates what really endures: the lure of power, the pain of betrayal, the solace of family and home. Vividly imagined and critically acclaimed, this is poetry for now and for years to come.

A courageous take on the violence and beauty of life past and present, this book celebrates what really endures: the lure of power and solace of home.

In Brookes’s hands, “Britain is real again”, suddenly lit up by the fierce glint of a scouring intelligence.
The astonishingly-accomplished debut of a poet who will surely take his place among the very best of his generation.
