A Marginal Sea is written from the vantage point of Ynys Mon\/Anglesey, which is both on the edge of Wales and in a marginal sea of the Atlantic Ocean - the island is imagined here as a site of archipelagic connection with other places and histories, where the spaces of dream and digital technology are interwoven with the everyday. Skoulding's poems take their readers into new worlds: we come to terms with the oystercatcher's 'muscle of belonging'; we chart the cross-cultural coordinates of 'Newborough Warren with Map of Havana' ('and it's this way to the Malecon \/to look out over the Menai Strait'); elegy and song overlap in moving poems which think through how we remember and misremember: 'it's my voice \/\/ deepening with others that won't let themselves \/ be buried.' ('Anecdote for the Birds'). A Marginal Sea is inventive, exhilarating in its soundscapes, and brilliantly awake to otherness, in language, and in the animal and natural world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40845469319212,"sku":"9781800172517","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0379\/1365\/7388\/files\/9781800172517_80666d6a-ecbe-4e8e-b50a-ff6ae02aa304.jpg?v=1759659387","url":"https:\/\/www.griffinbooksonline.co.uk\/products\/9781800172517","provider":"Griffin Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
