La Far

How far are we from the Lake District? How far from the garden? Eric Linsker's first book scrolls down the Anthropocene, tracking our passage through a technophilic pastoral where work and play are both forms of making others suffer in order to exist. The poems in La Far hope that by making the abstract concrete and the concrete abstract we might construct what Wordsworth called a "Common Day”, a communised life partaken of by all.
