Collecting 15 years of poetry, Post-Atomic Glossaries is Antony Owen's magnum opus, a selection including his Ted Hughes award shortlisted collection, The Nagasaki Elder, alongside selections from every book he has published, and an impressive range of new poems. The poems that make up this collection explore war, nuclear power, terrorism, the death penalty, genocide, Hiroshima, nuclear weaponry, family life, masculinity, and much more. The poems are, by turns, beautiful, disturbing, uplifting, and heart-breaking. This is a remarkable body of work by an outstanding poet.
