Items related to The Fever Wards (Salt Modern Poets)
"The Fever Wards" takes us on a trek through the jungle of the world and of the mind. The weather is torrid, like stepping off the high street into the tropical house. The poems are lush, overpowering and smell of mangoes in the rainy season. Eat your fill.
