OverviewAnja Konig's is a voice we need now more than ever. In an era of tribalism, it's rare to encounter one so committed to identifying the root of things as they really are, and then laying those findings bare with benign frankness. While the world ends around us daily, these pages offer a macro and micro view, in which we find ourselves both culpable and insignificant, and it is in this paradox that, perhaps, we might be redeemed.

Table of ContentsReviews'Every so often - and it's not very often - we stumble upon a collection which immediately establishes a new voice on the block. Anja König is precisely the antidote we need to the interesting times in which we live. Her work is by turns witty, sad, jubilant, ironic and outrageous, but always clear-eyed and compassionate. A respectfully irreverent and brutally humane response to the broken world we inhabit, and the world, which inhabits us.' John Glenday 'Do not be fooled by the precise, intelligent and direct tone of these poems. It is their very state of apparent detachment and sparseness that allows them to carry a wild and devastating emotional heft. This poet rolls up her sleeves and takes both herself and humanity to task. Grief, anger and despair co-habit with joy, humour and hope in this highly original and exquisitely-wrought new collection.'
