New Firmaments, Northern Songs is a poetry collection by Josh Calladine, exploring the shifting landscapes of memory, the future and the self. These poems navigate a landscape fractured by loss and longing, finding dignity among ruins, streets, and skies. A place where daisy chains are woven from graveyard blooms and supermarket trolleys become riverine hieroglyphs. Calladine’s poetry illuminates hidden corners of the North West of England’s landscape, balancing realism with lyricism, to extract the minor chords of human experience - - an experience that remains committed to what remains, however fleeting, unstable, and fragile.
