Selected from his three collections and various pamphlet publications, Larksong Static offers a first synopsis of Martin Malone's work so far. From his resounding alliances of memory and geography in The Waiting Hillside, through the complicated emotional landscape and fine art sensibilities of Cur, to the brilliantly achieved cultural memory work of his Great War sequence, The Unreturning, this selection captures a poet staking serious claim for his significance to the contemporary scene.
 
"I'm particularly impressed by Malone's poems on art and works of art...[which] make me mentally place him in the category of poets who one wishes also wrote art criticism."
