A bracing distillation of this poet's distinctive talent, these verses address everyday topics such as alcoholism, ill health, and growing old and avoid traditional poetic forms. Often the poems are tiny fragments—embellished with asterisks, dashes, and dotted lines—that describe a brief encounter, as in "On the Bus" and "Some Last Words.
Geoff Cochrane's is a whole world, rendered in lines at once compressed and open, mysterious and approachable." — Damien Wilkins, author, Nineteen Widows Under Ash
"If you're already a Geoff Cochrane fan, his latest work will not be disappointing. Cochrane’s relaxed precision, stunning vocabulary, and formidable concision are all happily present." — Amy Brown, New Zealand poet, on 84-484
