William Wootten’s Landline takes us from Eden to the end of the world. Its poems circumnavigate the globe and journey to Venus and the Underworld, bringing arresting voices via intricate patterns of rhyme and metre. Poems of meditation reflect on the sadnesses and joys of nature, art and time. Poems of myth, history or science fiction become timely or timeless embodiments of strong emotions and concerns. Subjects range from roses to aviation, from Narnia to plague rats, from artificial reality to the Parthenon. For further details, see the publisher's website.
