It discovers how poetry in the UK and USA has been re-energised by the influence of recorded sound and the creative methods that emerged with it.
Zoe Skoulding's first Carcanet collection is a navigation of lostness, centred on Anglesey, that discovers solidarities across times, places and species.

In Footnotes to Water (Seren) poet Zoe Skoulding follows two forgotten rivers, the Adda in Bangor and the Bievre in Paris, and tracks the literary hoofprints of sheep through Welsh mountains. In these journeys she reveals urban and rural locales as sites of lively interconnection, exploring the ways in which place shapes and is shaped by language.
