Inventive, striking and memorable. And a reminder that Morgan is one of the most original poets around.
Andrew Motion, Guardian Books of the Year
At Maldon, J. O. Morgan s version of the Old English poem The Battle of Maldon, has all the clash and clang of War Music, and the same odd modernism to bring you up short bin-liners, cricket balls, umbrellas. My ears are still singing with the gurgle of Saxon blood. Morgan is a worth inheritor of Logue s broadsword. --Ferdinand Mount, Times Literary Supplement Books of the Year
.In early August 991, a ragtag army of Anglo-Saxons joined battle with a party of Viking raiders at Maldon on the coast of Essex. The encounter was recorded in an Old English long poem, though only the work s middle section survives.
Applying a modern perspective to its heroic ideals, J.O. Morgan re-imagines that summer s day on which some men fought, loyal to the end, and some men fled, fearing the battle was already lost. At Maldon/i<> reawakens the events of a thousand years ago with the same verve and precision that distinguished Morgan s prize-winning Natural Mechanical.
