by Matthew Sweeney (Author)
This collection of Matthew Sweeney's poetry is much possessed by death, for it contains works on corpses and body-parts, drownings and burials. However, it also includes vigorous antidotes to this gleeful morbidity, such as a description of crossing the Channel on a horse.
