Full Description
Surfaces Slipping Beneath is a meditation on how land, memory, language, and stories endure, fracture, and transform. Mark Nuttall writes of extractive landscapes and coastlines, of ghostly presences, of lives rooted in soil and place, working with ground, field, stone, and rock, of shifting glossaries of tide and sea, and of paths taken. These poems unearth traces and fragments of industry, family, and folklore, lingering on what shimmers, glimmers, drifts at the edge of sight, slips away, yet resurfaces and refuses to be forgotten.
