From her vantage point of the post-truth, pandemic-afflicted present, Jo Burns turns her fierce analytical
powers on the most tragic historical events of the 20th century, and on the impact of propaganda and conspiracy theories on public and private discourse in the present day.
These arresting poems are imbued with the multi-layered, highly textured craft of a poet at the height of her powers, engaging with the most urgent questions of our time
