Description

In 2013 the poet Roddy Lumsden suffered a serious concussion.

The head injury left him devoid of creativity, impersonating himself in an effort to rediscover his own identity.

Four months later, a late night conversation led to a radical experiment that would see him return to writing with a daring project.

This book is that extraordinary work. As the poet says, "The series of plaintive poems entertains the idea of sentimentality.

It encourages fetishes, by which I mean repeated references and name dropping.

It is 'hand on heart' stuff. Sweeping, indulgent last lines, often. Emotional, evoking the mood I found myself in as I recovered, solved."
