The river Rhine starts to flow through Gloucestershire. Someone reads Russian poetry as a general election approaches. The people who live on the Sun turn out to be worried about the people down here on Earth. Casting its lines across rainfall and motorways and the lives of the saints alike, while mining a wild humour from the vastness of our cultural disarray, Patrick Mackie gives a new account of what the modern lyric is capable of.
