Städerna inuti Hall

A book-length poem about cities and the power that drives them: plastics and synthetic fibres, what is prized and what is thrown away, laws ashamed of themselves, people who cannot meet one another's eyes. Running alongside is the old journey of Aeneas below the earth, where generation after generation of Roman rulers and murderers files past him, and the vision of an enormous register of the dead, naming the missing whose faces look out from notices on shop doors and lift walls.
