Caldebroc by Antony Rowland Peter Riley ‘In McCrae’s hands

‘In McCrae’s hands

Examining places

wild animals and flowers

In his hands it is as if poetry were giving up its last secrets

One language is falling silent every two weeks

Caldebroc by Antony Rowland Peter Riley ‘In McCrae’s hands'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
