Peatlands is the first bilingual single collection of Mexican poet Pedro Serrano’s work to be published in the UK. Introduced by WN Herbert, the poems are as linguistically thrilling as they are wide-ranging: with subjects as diverse as snakes and swallows, valleys and skyscrapers, weariness and love.
