Drake's fourth collection explores the strange interconnections and emergencies - the signs, wonders and alarms - of the early 21st century. Here are elegies for the Whitechapel Fatberg and incandescent light bulbs; the life stories of plastic bottles and ice-core samples; portraits of those living on the margins of the city streets, and of Voyager 1 crossing the threshold of the solar system. The past echoes in poems about the ancient artists who recorded their presence in cave art, a Spanish missionary thrilled by an Aztec ball game, and a story of gay love from the Song dynasty. Above all, the poems seek to tune in to what is out of range; the dark matter of mystery, wonder and time at the edge of our senses, at the back of our heads, which poetry makes visible.
