Author’s Note: ‘In this poetry, there are no incantations to raise the monster from the slab or to charm alien plants into flower, unless, as through imagination and tethers of quantum entanglement, the reading makes it so—against the terrible disquiet of people and spirit, a few moments of reflection that we may recover in ourselves something temperate, guarded and just.’ — Estill Pollock (Norfolk, England)
