AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Mitchell Welch’s debut collection is an inventive tour de force that sets forth, in the words of Dominique Hecq, 'a poetic universe full of provocation, seeings-into and ludic energy'. In two sections, 'Vehicles Of' and 'Vehicles For', Welch sets up a dialectic between two contrary dimensions of existentialism, exploring through deft poetic lines and language play both the irreconcilable alienation of the individual and the emancipatory potential of community.' (Publication summary)
