"The Glass Delusion" draws on the power of animals, the strangeness of home and the mysteries of the future. Blending the mythic and the domestic, it is a book haunted by the lost, by buried objects and preserved creatures, unearthed memories and secrets brought to light. The poems in The Glass Delusion dwell on the meaning of where we live and how we live, are ecologically aware, uncanny and speculative. Curtis brings to life such characters as Dr Who"s wife; Paul, a psychic octopus; a troublesome poltergeist; an orchestra of insects and an enchanted version of Essex. Sensuous, musical and shot-through with wry humour, Curtis" second book will move and surprise you.
