“A collection of new and redesigned poems published as a box of postcards, Colour/Grammar brings together a large selection of my work in two-dimensional, colour-coded eco-poetry for the first time.

Each box contains two copies of each poem, allowing one set to be gifted to a diverse array of readers in the post. An homage to the aleatoric forms of mid-century modernism, a celebration of poetry as tactile domestic craft, and an exploration of the possibilities of colour as grammar and grammar as colour.

This is a project of the strange, nerve-jangling, ecstatic days of early fatherhood. Something of the colour of that time seeps into the final sequence, which was created entirely at night, with a newborn asleep on my lap.”
