More journeys, more borders, more strange encounters, more transactions in the trade of language: in his latest collection, Wild Root, Ken Smith’s wanderings take him further and further out, among the wastelands of Eastern Europe after Communism, and again to North America, where his as-if counterpart Eddie lives his imaginary lives, among the other kinless wanderers. East and West, the distances merge into each other… Poetry Book Society Choice, shortlisted for the T.S. Eliot Prize.
