Behind The Seen

Audiobook

Listen to the poems – read by the Antony Mair (author).

‍“Antony Mair’s journey along the Cuckmere Pilgrim Path is lit by a ‘flurry of sparks’. Voices from the dark burst with sudden life, illuminating past passions and dreams with verve before ‘Silence settles / like a bird / folding its wings.” – John McCullourgh (poet, winner of 2020 Hawthornden Prize for Literature)

“…these poems are healing draughts for our turbulent times… Mair’s compassionate, graceful and uplifting vision lights our path through time and space.” – Glyn Maxwell (poet, playwright, novelist, teacher and critic)

Antony Mair has published three collections Bestiary, and Other Animals was shortlisted for the 2017 Live Canon First Collection Prize. He was awarded first prize in the 2022 Live Canon International Poetry Competition.
