To be alive is to be inside the wave, always travelling until it breaks and is gone. These poems are concerned with the borderline between the living and the dead - the underworld and the human living world - and the exquisitely intense being of both. They possess a spare, eloquent lyricism as they explore the bliss and anguish of the voyage.

New collection by prizewinning poet and novelist: poems about mortality, illness, being alive and the borderline between the living human world and the underworld.
