A night crew works the sleepers' side of the hill. Their dreams lie in beds like stone, and the crew takes them out the way a quarry gives up rock: strip the soil, read the face, drill and split along the grain, lift on the derrick, sort the spoil, dress in the saw shed, carry down at first light. In eight sections of free verse, from Overburden to Cartloads, this collection follows the whole shift, from nightmares tipped on the waste heap to a flooded pit where the village swims, and from a mason's hidden mark to a threshold worn by morning feet. Physical, patient and quietly tender, it is poetry for readers who like their imagery mineral and their feeling slow to arrive.
