Amazon.com description: Product Description: Filmic, compulsive and strangely lyrical, Lung Soup is like no other poetry collection you have read before. Exploring ideas such as sexuality and gender, history and perception, genre and creativity, its fractured narrative ranges from 1940s Germany to McCarthyite America and a post-apocalyptic future, where the same characters die and reappear again and again, as if starring in their own surreal, poetic soap opera. Andrew Elliott was born in Limavady in 1961. His first collection, The Creationists, was published in 1988. He lives in Manchester.
