Away From Me is the highly-anticipated second collection from poet and novelist Caleb Klaces.
‘The world,’ wrote Georges Perec, ‘is big.’ The poems here rediscover the familiar intimacies of love, disgust, vulnerability, nurture and nostalgia in the vast spaces, technologies and voices that extend vertiginously beyond the individual self.
In Klaces’s imagined landscapes, language is purposefully sieved, processed and contaminated by forces outside the writer's control, creating a work with its own glitchy music and sharp beauty: ‘a joyful bigger’.
