¿Lines off¿ is a term used for lines spoken from the wings of a theatre, or off-camera in a film. It was while Hugo Williams was out of circulation following transplant surgery that he wrote the poems for this new collection ¿ the first since <i>I Knew the Bride</i> (2014), shortlisted for the Forward and T. S. Eliot prizes. From youthful days ¿upside down in the Crazy Room, / rising and falling on the Haunted Swing¿, he takes us to distant countries, both actual and metaphorical; participates in the ¿mortal pantomime¿ of the hospital ward with humorous frankness; and offers a percipient account of growing older, with all its attendant doubts and disturbances. Autobiographical, psychological, remedial, <i>Lines Off</i> heralds the return of this acclaimed poet, back to the stage of the page, offering us ¿the performance of a lifetime¿.
