An old idea of reality animates the poems in The Mechanical Bird: things are never what they seem. Asa Boxer’s debut constantly tests the claims of authenticity over artifice. Objects, settings and everyday details are swept up in an imagination that can never quite shake the sense of the visible world – even nature itself – as an artful mixture of fact and invention.
