Description

In this sparkling debut, Matthew Hollis immerses us in the undercurrents of our lives.

Love and loss are buoyed by a house full of milk, an orchard underwater, the laws of walking on water.

Rainwater, floodwater, flux – the liquid landscapes which shift relentlessly in Ground Water – threaten and comfort by turns.

Matthew Hollis's poems are brimming with courage in adversity as well as the promise of renewal, culminating in a powerful sequence about a father's struggle with terminal illness.

Ground Water is a startling first collection from a remarkable new poet. Shortlisted for the Guardian First Book Award (the first time for a poetry book), Whitbread Poetry Award and Forward Prize for Best First Collection.
