Disused railway buildings, empty wagons, ruined industrial sites, bleak factory yards and suburban streets: there is hardly a person in these spaces, only traces of human presence reflected on surfaces of light and shadow. The poems form a motif-linked series of observations, descriptions and records of states, about the visual structure of the world around us, the contrasts of existence and the experience of seeing, where nothing is certain but everything can be described exactly.
