A truly beautiful, lyrical and passionate immersion in the intimate poetry of person and place. Simon Maddrell is our guide into and among the organic elements of a very special location – The Isle of Man. “Throatbone” is as much about the person who has known The Isle of Man like the closest of family members and, with love and tenderness, extends to us the privilege of his inner understanding.
Henry Stanton, Publisher & Editor, The Raw Art Review Journal & UnCollected Press

In Throatbone Maddrell asks us to consider the way memory, home, history and empire confer to shape our understanding of one another. Poems which at times stretch and contort to subtly lead us back into the way of the personal through anecdote, imagery and acute revelations. Maddrell has created a poetry that is primarily aware of itself. It appears comfortable in its want to excavate the more remote aspects of place, linking to the body and beyond.
