A brilliant new work by one of America's finest and most relevant poets. Tom Sleigh's poetry swerves dramatically from the ordinary moment to the onrush of emergency, the elusive past to the unexpectedly comic. Army Cats confronts the more feral aspects of war, journalism, art and selfhood. Many of the poems are seen as if through a roadside Bomb, or while the smoke hasn't yet cleared from history in the making.
