Everything that is broken up dances2015

"James Byrne's first book to be published in America navigates personal and socio-political worlds, journeying through Burma, Libya, and Syria along with documenting the poet's years in New York City and subsequent return to England. This is a flexible poetry written 'on the hoof, ' nomadic and innovative, with imagery and language dexterously sparring. With linguistic tenacity but by tremendously varied means, Byrne shows how 'everything broken up dances.'"--Amazon.com.
