1. Plumb
A compact, night-haunted collection of spare, symbolist poems that create an atmosphere of urban decay and oppressive melancholy; through recurring images of rain, leaden weight, dead leaves, empty streets and cemeteries, the work conveys intense feelings of alienation, monotony and the inexorable presence of death, using minimal, musical language to transform everyday gloom into a sustained, existential vision.
