More Sky is a remarkable and remarkably various debut collection from Eric Gregory Award winner, Joe Carrick-Varty, tracking the ways in which experience of addiction and domestic violence shape a life. Carrick-Varty approaches difficult material with great skill and poise. Here we find stunning individual lyrics, with an eye for the vivid and surreal, surprising sequences which use Buddhism and Greek myth and the life of coral to refract the poems' interests and the astonishing sixty-three page long poem 'sky doc' which meditates on suicide and its retrospective haunting of every corner of its speaker's life.
