Fantastic. A life carried through a series of poems, from wild poems recounting wilder sex to structured reflections on antiquity and upbringing to reflections on the past through looser rhymes and more irregular rhythms. Through it all is Harrison’s voice, with a similarly strong, smoky cadence to Leonard Cohen. One of my favourite finds this year.
