Birds emerge from nests of tables/ a fox is lured from buddleia with a fishing line/ an Amazon warehouse proves no match for the written word/ infidelity/ beard envy/ country music/ a boy grows up a bear/ an audience of crows/ gravy boats for hairdos/ ‘Bonnie and Clyde’ attend a writing workshop/ while criminals are set free/ elephants born without ivory succumb to professional darts players/ and a man falls through the moon. All this and more/ will astound and provoke thought/ amuse and transport/ in this, Ash Dickinson’s third main collection/ Instructions For Outlaws.
