The poems in this collection are created from the fractured phrases and competing idioms of contemporary movement and the translation between public and private spaces—conversations that start and are broken off; public announcements intervening in private situations; an emergency that is about to unfold in the background. Taking bearings from Dover and London and wrestling with themes of elegy and protest, official structures that determine where people can go, and the futures that cross them, the poems explore the social spaces in which people move. The book asks what it means to be at large in the world and what language is available to document the journey.
