but somehow more frightening, in its sullen concentration, than those that relish forceful brutal movement, in which bodies enjoy at least some level of release. The Language School drops into the pit of numbness and silence. The reader knows that the trap has been dug long before the prisoner reached the courtroom. Tim Liardet's next full collection, The Storm House, is due from Carcanet in 2011. Grateful thanks to Seren Books, and to the author for permission to reproduce The Language School.
