Steak & Stations reports from a landscape of contrasts and contradictions of speed and consumption, haute cuisine and isolated railway platforms from nocturnal innercity encounters to rural wildernesses where schoolgirls climb into the wind. In this exhilarating debut collection, Michael Egan has developed a style of his own, a conversational staccato that compels you to reconstruct his dark, fragmented micronarratives piece by piece. Shot through with surreal humour, experimentation and a keen political sensibility, these poems offer a peephole into the mysteries of domesticity, relationships and modern society."This is the work of an exciting, younger poetic voice taking on the challenge of how to write about change as it happens, about the past slipping away from us and the future still invisible to our senses. Read it and imagine."Eleanor ReesMichael Egan lives in Liverpool and is a member of Edge Hill Universitys Poetry and Poetics Research Group. He is also the editor of The Binturong Review. Michaels poems have appeared in Erbacce, Great Works, Zafusy and Poetry Salzburg. A pamphlet, The River Swam, was published in 2005 and a second, Folklores, in 2010. Steak & Stations is his first full collection.
