A gathering of Fox's poems written over the last ten years, confronts the way predatory capitalism and its pervasive digital culture is cauterizing humanity and nature. With taut momentum and often fierce, humor, these poems track the 21st century predicament with graphic austerity. In between, in a gentler style, are lyric poems of painful insight. And, in between those, a hectically South African road trip.

Monument makers focused not only on a gigantic body but also on a nationalist 'union,' downplaying 'emancipation. ' Among both black and white liberals...

When Scotland Yard's first detective branch was set up in 1842, crime was very different from today. The favoured murder weapon was the cut-throat razor; carrying a pocket watch was dangerous; the most significant clue at a murder scene could be the whereabouts of a candlestick or a hat; large households (family, servants and lodgers) complicated many a case and servants sometimes murdered their masters. Detectives had few aids and suffered many disadvantages....
