Book Synopsis
Full of playful glitches and malfunctions, this debut collection from an alumnus of Carcanet’s New Poetries series and a recent favourite in the pages of PN Review is a poetry of misses and near-misses, distortions and uncertainties. The poems capture a feeling of déjà vu, a sense of something not quite right, out of place, though hard to put your finger on. They are filled with pop-cultural references and registers, responding with a collagist’s eye to music, painting, photography, television and film. Frequently funny and even more frequently fun, Bagnall’s poems cut across continents, memories, dreams and rooms.

Trade Review
`These poems move from memory to disaster to artwork to movie to prayer in an uncannily frictionless manner… a beautiful and eerie book.’ - Oli Hazzard; `I frequently laughed, I re-read poems out loud, I went outside and read them again. And what’s going to keep me doing so indefinitely is the poet’s defiant and hard-won sense of wonder.’ - Luke Kennard
