    About this ebook

    The poems in Kelly Grovier's third collection share a fascination with the mysteries that underlie our everyday existence, that 'other world' we sense in the 'undeciphered sands' shifting at our feet. By turns lyrical and philosophical, elegiac and playful, The Lantern Cage is a collection located on the margins of vision, where the invisible calculations of being remain unsolvable - a realm whose secrets are kept under 'lough and quay'.
