Opis
The rural terrain of John Challis's second collection provides a new lens for exploring history, class and work, our relationship to the natural world, and cycles of growth and decay. Much of his debut collection The Resurrectionists concerned working lives in the city: his father a London cabbie, his grandfather a market porter. Here his focus shifts to a crumbling stately home in Northumberland brought to life through the voices of the grounds as well as those who inhabit it and maintain it. London is at a distance. We find ourselves beyond, in backyards, on motorways, in fields, searching for the green patch in Kent, where an East End family picked hops in the summer.
Despatches from the early years of fatherhood reflect on ageing, loss and patience. Poems set in the American west consider the idea of freedom. And on the eve of his execution, thief and folk hero Jack Sheppard flees into the forest of his mind. Confronting the tension between wanting to belong and the desire to escape, these poems acknowledge and reckon with the people and places that haunt us.
'...for Challis, when thoughts crystallise they do so with force [...] These poems are sharp and satisfying - and can be consumed in stolen moments of parental calm. While Challis's 2021 debut collection, The Resurrectionists, dwelled in the working lives of the city - a London cabbie father, a market porter grandfather; cockle pickers, butchers and barrow boys - this second book has a greener and grander canvas.' - Jade Cuttle, The Observer (Poetry Books of the Month)
'John Challis's second collection examines the lives of those who both work on, and are part of, the landscape. […] A fantastic collection which interrogates belonging while recognising that one's "green and pleasant land / is the stuff of poetry".' - Shash Trevett, Poetry Book Society Summer 2026 Bulletin, on The Green Parcel
