Soft Where

“Soft Where  by Marcus McCann is a hard-hitting cutting edge poetic expose of a world filled with experimentation and valour. This stunning book explores the possibilities of bringing image to life, written in the language of the people and soaked in a heart of sapphire.

The jury was intoxicated by this book, and feels this young writer should be encouraged in every and all ways―to the full extent of poetic promise. The language in  Soft Where  is as stark and meaningful as the images which express a lifestyle hard-lived and yet as delicate as an origami bird.”
