It is essentially two new collections: The Tall Skies
is a far-ranging exploration of Sweden, its social and literary culture, and particularly the proletarian writers of the early 20th century/ Blaze a Vanishing includes many tributes to past British poets, writers and social campaigners as well as the title poem sequence which looks at the 'shadow lineage' of British proletarian poets and writers
