A Commonplace is a dialogue about how poetry is made and how it makes a difference to our lives. Jonathan Davidson's quiet but distinctive poems - including pieces from the 17th Century, from Kyiv and Lisbon, and from Finland and Nicaragua - are complemented by outstanding work by sixteen other poets and translators.
Littered with unruly footnotes and featuring a gazetteer and bibliography, A Commonplace invites the reader to experience poetry as a lived art form.
