• Eleventh poetry collection from the winner of the 1995 McVitie’s Scottish Writer of the Year Prize and a 2003 Creative Scotland Award • Consists of three long, hilarious, philosophical, existential sequences comprised of generally short poems • The poet lives in Glasgow without computer or telephone, composing in little notebooks which he eventually posts to his publisher • His subject matter is what lies beyond the window of his rented room: the world is an erotic and philosophical minefield; he is rather too fitful and feverish to relish it
