A brilliant new collection by the prize-winning Scottish poet
J. O. Morgan is a Scottish author. His 2018 work Assurances, looking at the RAF's early involvement with maintaining the nuclear deterrent, won that year's Costa Poetry Award. He has been twice shortlisted for both the Forward and the T. S. Eliot Prize. Appliance is his second novel.
Eliot comes repeatedly to mind in reading Interference Pattern
because, in its tragic grandeur and sophistication, it is a poem
that could come to be for the twenty-first century what The Waste
Land was to the twentieth.
*Times Literary Supplement*
This collection carries you, unnerves and stimulates. It absolutely
meets TS Eliot’s requirement that poetry be “genuine”… It is
vividly miscellaneous poetry…bracing, original.
*Observer*
Interference Pattern teases us at every turn, inviting us to try to
unlock its secrets while keeping the keys just out of sight… The
multifarious voices in the book mostly speak over each other but
occasionally to each other, creating an intricate web of echoes and
half-echoes.
