Remains of a Future City

Zoë Skoulding's vibrant, multi-layered second collection of poetry takes the imagined city as its inspiration, but she is equally open to the suggestions offered by keenly observed details, both of the natural world and of the multiple variations of the built environment, from cathedrals to construction sites.

Zoë Skoulding is the author of The Mirror Trade and an AHRC Research Fellow at Bangor University. She was the founder and coeditor of the poetry magazine Skald and is the current editor of the international quarterly Poetry Wales.
