?In this sparkling debut, Matthew Hollis immerses us in the undercurrents of our lives. Love and loss are buoyed by a house full of milk, an orchard underwater, the laws of walking on water. Rainwater, floodwater, flux the liquid landscapes which shift relentlessly in Ground Water threaten and comfort by turns. Matthew Holliss poems are brimming with courage in adversity as well as the promise of renewal, culminating in a powerful sequence about a fathers struggle with terminal illness. Ground Water is a startling first collection from a remarkable poet.
