'...small, beautiful gem-like fragments adding up to a satisfying, lapidary whole.' Jon Gower: Nation Cymru 'Minhinnick makes the case for [delirium] in busy, fragmented prose, which is polyphonic in voice, time-bending in span, and a whirlwind to read.' Wales Arts Review. In Delirium Robert Minhinnick addresses his square mile: a small coastal town and massive sand dunes. But its uniqueness is challenged by the algorithms of globalisation, by the climate emergency, by a changing world led by corrupt, inept politicians. This thought-provoking book celebrates the ordinary and everyday, our vital bedrock for life.
