Steak & Stations reports from a landscape of contrasts and contradictions: of speed and consumption, haute cuisine and isolated railway platforms; from nocturnal inner-city encounters to rural wildernesses where schoolgirls 'climb into the wind'.

Reviews
This is the work of an exciting, younger poetic voice taking on the challenge of how to write about change as it happens, about the past slipping away from us and the future still invisible to our senses. Read it and imagine. - Eleanor Rees Steak and Stations comprises a fine array of sharply-observed, well-turned verses whose Scouse wit counterpoints their seriousness. Tea and cake is taken, urban foxes thread through nighttown, scenes are domestic and often erotic, and the Holy Grail gets abandoned outside a Liverpool Oxfam. These are poems in and of the world which nevertheless dream all night of the impossibility of the everyday: 'the same only seen from uncanny angles.' - Scott Thurston
