Nobody asked us to look.Every day, every since, I still wish we hadn''t. Jaded reporter Andrew and his photographer boyfriend, Carlos, are sick of sifting the dregs of Mexico''s drug war: from cartel massacres to corrupt politicians, they think they''ve seen it all.

Noted novelist and essayist Tim MacGabhann's debut collection demonstrates a rare confidence and coherence. These formally assured and blackly funny poems chart the course of addiction and recovery, contemplating the injuries a body and mind can sustain, and what joys we find in these darker spaces in the shape of friendship, music, and community. The spare, stark poems of love and survival in Found in a Context of Destruction open windows on rarely-seen vistas, bringing us on a delirious but vividly captured journey from Ireland to Mexico. - Inbunden, Engelska, 2020
