Looking Out from Bashan

Og is the last survivor of the giant races of the Old Testament, doomed to conquest by God's chosen people on their way to the Promised Land. Og is not only the king of the last of his people but, as a giant amongst ordinary sized humans, he also represents the monster within. An exciting new collection of poems linked by a strong narrative into a poetic 'biography'.

'Og is wonderfully primal and unexpected, a Biblical and gigantic character. Og is the naive power of perception and learning, a great craft afloat on his own oceanic curiosity.' - Philip Salom, Keeping Carter

'An intricately delving blend of ancient and modern apocrypha which unearths stories in us all. Mesmerising.'- Toby Davidson, editor of Francis Webb Collected Poems
