The poems in Nothing's Lost, Ian House's second full collection, range from Reading's side streets to Moscow's Metro by way of a murderous Victorian baby farmer, Gogol's nose, and the Tardis outside an Oxford museum. They are linked by a concern with relationship - between individuals, past and present, mind and world, certainty and doubt. Sometimes bleak, sometimes joyous, always inspired by experience's detail and nuance, nothing is lost on them, a great deal gained.
"In his second collection, Nothing's Lost, Ian House portrays the world with all its objects, creatures and relationships through his own unique lens. His is a vision of utter originality; there is not a simile or metaphor in this short collection that does not tingle with freshness… These poems invigorate the imagination, inviting the reader to join in their verbal aerobics. Like the peregrine, House can 'strip life / to the bone like poetry - ' - highly skilled and totally authentic poetry, a must-read collection." Wendy Klein in The North
