Full of cheek and wit, Sholto Buck's debut collection presents us with a kaleidoscopic view of (sub)urban feeling, being and relating. These poems, attuned as they are to practices of noticing and observing, offer ways to articulate a world that shimmers and shifts around the self, and which fuels our desires. In the words of US poet Elaine Kahn, Buck's poems shine 'like cherries in a bright blue pool'.
