55 Devotionals (Against Erasure) by Andrew McDonnell
Broken Sleep Books
The metaphysical prose poems in this collection seek to create a space for strangeness and joy in things of this world and aim to prevent the erasure of working-class experience. The poems explore masculinity, fatherhood and generational traumas with a secular search for meaning and faith in the lived experience to help make sense of who and what we are. They are poems that explore the effects of class across our lives to resist assimilation and move beyond identity politics towards a metaphysical space where understanding briefly flashes like a boat and then is gone. They explore the joy in what is free and how we settle the past, present and future and ˜light our lights against the coming tides'.
