“Burn ... sings the mood music of our times. From political hypocrisy to the ache of stolen land, disappearing species, to our ‘rubbish stockpiled on the moon’, Hart’s poetry is unflinching in its examination of the Anthropocene and late Capitalism, in all its tragedy. With a linguistic precision that belies the steeliness at the heart of these poems, Hart challenges us to look apocalypse in the eye while reminding the reader of what clings to us and wants to keep us warm.”

“This is potent poetry: of daily existence, of painful witness, of unflinching record ... These poems exist as presence and absence all at once. They are a testament to the ‘unbearably beautiful’ grasping of humankind, even as the world is consumed by an unending hunger that reduces everything to ‘wind-rasp and ash’. An incandescent collection.”
