A collection of poetry that highlights many of the problems facing humanity in the world today and the dystopian direction society is sleepwalking into.
These are poems about artificial intelligence, childhood, death, nature, Welsh independence, culture, race, war, sexism, travel and love.
Lewis does not take a side but instead immerses us in a subject. He is an astute observer who can effortlessly dissect uncomfortable truths and never shies away from the more challenging issues of the day.
