Following on from her 2013 T.S. Eliot Prize-winning Parallax, the inaugural Poet Laureate of Belfast, Sinead Morrissey, returns with a poignant and compelling new collection which evokes the atmosphere of a society threatened by crisis. On Balance considers great feats of human engineering - ships, planes, robots - as we struggle for balance and poise in a world teetering on the edge of political disaster. Ever a topical poet, Sinead here explores themes of immediate urgency set against a backdrop of ecological and economic instability. How can we maintain our drive for progress and order when the world around us is collapsing into disarray?
