In this, his second book of poetry, John Coe reflects upon his military, political and academic background, drawing into focus the humour, injustices, gentle abstractions and absurdities of life. His selection of poetry crosses international and cultural borders and he does not resile from controversy. At times politically incorrect, at times soothingly pastoral, he pokes fun at cultural shibboleths, secular and sacred. Coe’s poetry is both edgy and, at times, delightfully unfashionable. It will entertain and provoke.
