“On the face of it, these rectangular prose-poem paragraphs seem to be ‘one perfect black strip’ after another, not unlike the fens themselves, but on closer inspection they too have been damaged, infected by a language virus. Both moving and funny, and operating as a kind of travel journal through the East Anglian flatlands after Covid, they are also weirdly iterative and glitchy, flickering between memorial and curative to historic ecological and economic harm – ‘the illth in tilth’.” —Jeff Hilson
