About this ebook
A powerful exploration of language, politics, and the human cost of hostility in public spaces.
Through, written between 2011 and 2015, continues David Herd's inquiry into the language of public space, building on his previous work in All Just. This collection of five extended poems delves into the ways contemporary public language has been rendered officially hostile, examining the impact on human intimacy.
Through seeks to register broken affections and explore the possibilities of solidarity and trust in a world increasingly defined by division. This collection is for readers of contemporary poetry interested in social commentary and the power of language. Discover how Herd's verses capture the complexities of our time, offering moments of reflection and empathy.
