Pandemonium

Andrew McMillan/ Jonathan Cape

Tender, devastating and potent, pandemonium is the extraordinary third poetry offering from the prize-winning Andrew McMillan, in which he explores the challenging realm of mental health. Using his trademark breath-space and lower-case lines, Andrew’s core theme is navigating an often-turbulent relationship with an emotionally fluctuating and sometimes suicidal partner. These poems are raw dispatches from the frontiers of depression, crisis and recovery, capturing a mind in freefall, a body in trouble, and the constant readjustments necessary in loving someone on a precarious path. A phenomenal, fearless talent. Out now
