New Cemetery by Simon Armitage
A poet observing from a shed watches a new cemetery being created on the West Yorkshire moor. The collection uses short, layered poems about everyday details—the cars, the planning, the changing light—to offer quiet, often wry meditations on mortality, memory and a particular sense of place, moving from local scenes to broader reflection without revealing specific events.
