Publisher's Synopsis

Shortlisted for the Derek Walcott Prize 2020
Longlisted for the 2020 Polari Prize
A Telegraph Book of the Year 2019


The highly anticipated new collection from Forward Prize-winner Kei Miller explores his strangest landscape yet - the placeless place. Here is a world in which it is both possible to hide and to heal, a landscape as much marked by magic as it is by murder.



Our Booksellers Say...

"In ‘in nearby bushes’, Kei Miller examines the places just outside of our vision, the always-present places where crimes happen, and people vanish. Wherever his precise and mesmerising voice takes you, you will want to follow, in formally-inventive poems which explore the violent legacies of slavery and colonialism through the naming of plants and places."
