Christopher Lanyon's playful, topographical poems embody what it means to swell: in the rising and falling breath of landscape, in the joyous vulnerability of intense friendship and love, in the wake of the inexorable changes to which body and world are bound. This pamphlet takes a kaleidoscopic view of the material; full of flex and growth, feather and claw. In dialogue with fathers and poets, quarries and coastlines, Lanyon asks who we are, and who we want to be.
