Caldebroc by Antony Rowland Peter Riley So all these poems have

So all these poems have an explicit connection to the city

a hymn to London as much as to its characters

‘In McCrae’s hands

Ned Denny’s Unearthly Toys are treacherous playthings

One language is falling silent every two weeks

Caldebroc by Antony Rowland Peter Riley So all these poems have'CALDEBROC introduces a range of characters from the Yorkshire and Lancashire borders and beyond, including the Brontes at their naughtiest, and crazed millionaires who try to ban January and pimp their filing cabinets. The title of the book is an old English word for a Manchester district. Working out from a sequence about a friend murdered there in 2013, the book asks: what does it mean to have spent an entire life on the M62?' Arc Publications
