Gregory Leadbetter and Phil Thomson's Balanuve is a sequence of poems about a mythical city, charting its decline to its resurrection. Leadbetter's poetry sings with the sweetly intoxicating music of Yeats and moves like a flag flapping in the wind around a ruined castle. Balanuve is a luxurious, mysterious, and voluptuous pamphlet complemented by the haunting photography of Phil Thomson. A collaboration of the highest order.
