Assurances

**SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2018 FORWARD PRIZE FOR BEST COLLECTION**A war-poem both historic and frighteningly topical, Assurances begins in the 1950s during a period of vigilance and dread in the middle of the Cold War: the long stand-off between nuclear powers, where the only defence was the threat of mutually assured destruction.

** PREZENTAT PENTRU PREMIUL ANUAL 2018 PENTRU CEL MAI BUNA COLECTIE ** Un poem de razboi atat istoric, cat si infricosator de actualitate, Assurances incepe in anii 1950 intr-o perioada de vigilenta si temere in mijlocul Razboiului Rece: lunga distanta intre nucleare puteri, unde singura aparare era amenintarea distrugerii reciproc asigurate.
