London Poetry Award Nomination Andrew Spragg: 'Ranging from ocean to dry-land pub, prairie to outer space, this book's good-humoured restlessness provokes us to think about relations between self and other. Andrew Spragg is a poet who can love; this book is in love with language without losing a grip on the world.'

The Lyre: “[A] riotous love sequence... Spragg's poems hit the nail on the head too, but on the slant, and into unexpected objects”
