Synopsis "National Animal"
National Animal, Derek Webster's second book of poetry, inhabits a wider public space than his acclaimed debut Mockingbird. In poems that extend beyond the biographical toward the political, Webster's quiet, sharp-eyed narrator-- a man " tripping / my way forward, trying to lead my own life" -- watches history being erased in favour of more socially palatable ideas and comforting self-portraits. Uncompromising and substantial, National Animal explores our " civic moment" where "birds sing oblivion / estranged from all things," and meditates, in a final image-rich sequence, on our place in a science-based cosmos.
