Bugs by Antony Dunn
Bugs are the insects we live alongside, necessary and unsettling; they're the fears, the ailments and spies that keep us wide awake at night. The stories in Antony Dunn's third collection range from the microscopic lives of parasitic worms to the lives of the planets themselves. We go from the miniature world of the flea circus to the invisible pervasiveness of electronic surveillance. In an uneasy world, Dunn's characters face down their terrors and find in science, in faith, in love, the courage to go on. Now heartening, now heartbroken, Bugs turns a magnifying glass on the world to reveal its fascinating strangeness.
"an alert, intelligent book.. poems which, Brodsky-like, take the reader somewhere new, jinking round the corners of places we think we know into imagined elsewheres... there's much to admire Poetry Wales"
