"Ah more eh....oh oh". In the light of Faraday's candle Coleridge channels Loewenhoek and Whalen (I was thinking) as Peter Manson shakes the frayed carpet of culture and, as a fearless Duprat caddis fly larva, makes jewels from the motes. Even the bits of themselves the poems create make interesting shadows. "Groups of words which didn't describe the image but which were it". Yes. Wit, intelligence, a dispassionate view of self: plus images that are not words. Nothing to want for in this excellent book that moved my chitin heart. -- Tom Raworth
Peter Manson is the language veterinarian, elbow-deep in the mysterious interoir of our discourse, groping intimately to clutch the dark beauty of its palpitating offals, approaching the apparatus of its speech-making from entirely the wrong direction. If every word was once an animal, then every animal was harmed in the making of this book. -- Chris Goode
