Plus Ultra

Description

Plus Ultra is the dazzling debut collection from a poet pushing at the boundaries, reaching towards the ‘further beyond’ of its title poem to explore questions of pain, love, sex, power and the sublime. These poems challenge, play and press, but also carry an anxiety around borders: what is ‘beyond’? What happens when we puncture that line that separates what we know from the things we do not yet know? With a sharp, Plathian interrogative voice Fletcher’s poems prowl the bars and night-haunts of Madrid and London, and in rich, mythic language plumb the below-places where discoveries are made, drowned, left behind.
