Life After Life After Death
Life After Life After Death
Felix Hodcroft
Paperback
Death for the bomber crew limping back over the estuary? Life after death for the young woman buried under the trees, beneath the city? A lunch break after death – as decades, centuries break their moorings and collide with each other?
Life After Life After Death, originally published in 2010, is the first full-length collection by acclaimed poet and novelist Felix Hodcroft. Driven by an impressive control of narrative and characterisation, his poems shine a light into every corner of society and consider familiar subjects as they've never been considered before.
