What is Loading Terminal about?
Loading Terminal collects three longer poems preoccupied with transition, stoppage and flow. A chase sequence through the press of a street demonstration, a glissade through a city of a million nail bars, a train ride through a landscape made entirely of metal detector arches. Shipped alongside them are shorter pieces from the period 2017–2022: the ‘zoomed in, raw, beautiful’ poems of At Close Range (2020) as well as a slew of other elegies and outros from a period in which the losses just kept on adding up. Moving from exercises in syntactical continuity and breathlessness towards exhibitions of verbal and visual collapse, these are political poems which look ‘for ways of holding open all of the distances that have grown up within and between us, and that threaten to collapse again the moment we open our mouths.’ Danny Hayward’s other books of poetry include Pragmatic Sanction (2015) and People (2013). A book of essays on recent UK poetry, Wound Building, was published in 2020.
