el dang reviewed Soil by Tim Cresswell
Engaging, clever poetry about places and non-places
5 stars
Cresswell is a recovering academic geographer, whose poetry is deeply rooted in appreciation of places, particularly London where he lived at the time he wrote this collection. And yet some of the poems I found the most affecting were about the non-places of airports and travel. All in all a wonderful collection.
