ways to say we're not alone - Paperback

ways to say we're not alone explores themes of estrangement and upheaval; how to keep going, how to be ourselves. These are poems of remorse and tenderness which come alive on the page, that fizz with a deep uncertainty and a yearning for home. Alderwick's sense of language is quietly playful amidst the often stark backdrop of what it means to be a broken human. His attention to the quiet moments of deferral or joy that characterise our relationships are wonderfully evocative. He is adept at the kind of surreal fable which makes a reader consider their own capacity for magic.
