In Martyn Crucefix's powerful new poems, the unearthed bones of the dispossessed gather together to march; in rural England, the whinnying of horses heralds an apocalyptic unease; amid October storms, there rises an acute sense of decline and fall as we stand, 'in hope maladroit as the woods riot'. Elsewhere, the ancient pike remains 'the weapon / of choice in the defence of democracy' as Our Weird Regiment evokes a sense of menace and insecurity in the environmental, political and personal spheres.
Martyn Crucefix is a British poet and translator, the author of eight original collections of poetry, including Between a Drowning Man (Salt, 2023) and Cargo of Limbs (Hercules Editions, 2019).
