Synopsis
Winner of the 2013 T S Eliot Prize for Poetry
Shortlisted for the 2013 Forward Prize for Best Collection
Winner of the 2014 Irish Times Poetry Now Award
Capturing David Niven on a magical marble escalator to heaven in 1946, recording L.S. Lowry's studio after his death, and peering into the illicit worlds of the Victorian Mutoscope, these poems document what is caught, and what is lost, when houses and cityscapes, servants and saboteurs ('the different people who lived in sepia') are arrested in time by photography. Assured and unsettling, Morrissey's poems explore the paradoxes in what is seen, read and misread in the surfaces of the presented world.
