Dream City Cinema turns the clock back, speeds up time or freezes it. Life is viewed through a wide-angle lens, the edges distorted, the images often hallucinatory, but the bewildered figures at the heart of the landscape are sharply focussed and always recognisable. With techniques ranging from montage to the villanelle, Knight’s poems are both playful and touching in their exploration of mortality and faith in a chaotic world. This second collection includes ‘The Mermaid Tank’, winner of the National Poetry Competition. Poetry Book Society Recommendation, shortlisted for the T.S. Eliot Prize.
