In David Barber\'s third collection of poetry, the past makes its presence felt from first to last.
Here is the stuff of lost time unearthed from all over: ballyhoo and murder ballad, the lacrimarium and the xylotheque, the Game of Robbers and the Indian Rope Trick, the obsolete.
Drawing on a wealth of eclectic sources and crafted in an array of nonce forms, these Poems range across vast stretches of cultural and natural history in pursuit of the forsaken, long-gone, and unsung.
