Publisher's Synopsis
"All the Relevant Gods has an impressive range of reference which bestows a strong sense of authority on its tone. It is geographically various but sure-footed in its evocation of here versus elsewhere, and it manages to ground its more abstract references, to science and music, in a vivid concreteness, so that it deploys the specific to hint evocatively at larger concerns." Ian Gregson
Extract from: 'Prancer'
He came to us over the leads -
a connoisseur of chimneys
and gnarly parapets -
he slid between church roofs,
ground his joints on mossy tiles
while pinnacling.
For the joy of each chase down
he endured the up, chiseling
hoof-holds in slate,
following twizzles of breath
blown from his brothers'
nostrils up front.
