Ten Poets Defend Their Cities from Giant, Strange Beasts

Ten poem. Ten poets. Ten earth-shattering encounters.

In scenarios which recall the mid-20th century craze for atomic monsters and stop-motion titans – as well as the existential fears they continue to embody – these ten sprawling poems and lyrical tales turn on terrible confrontations in modern metropolitan centres. The poets behind them are fighters, guardians – their lines and stanzas weapons of resistance. And while the beasts themselves may be somewhat figurative, somewhat fantastical, the danger they represent is sometimes very real indeed .
