Description

What is a city for? How long do the vibrations persist from an economic shock wave, or a guitar chord?

Is anything really permanent? The 'meanwhile site' is a place where change becomes a design feature, and Pete Green's remarkable debut collection commemorates the transient and the marginal - from the emergency housing made of shipping containers to crumbling coastal paths and sea stacks; from the villages left isolated by railway closures to the predicament of the new generations disenfranchised by the march of neoliberalism.

With the temporary comes hope of renewal, though, and alternatives to a disrupted, rootless culture might emerge in a Neolithic stone circle, or a circle of friends.

Keenly observed, deft and humane, these are poems for our age of precarity.
