one step sideways and 13 down is the latest poetic sequence from Lucy Burnett. The text was devised from collaging crossword clues from the newspaper, a process that stems from a preference for asking questions over providing answers. At the same time a kind of alternative surreal political commentary emerges from the gaps provided by the clues.

Lucy Burnett has two poetry collections, Leaf Graffiti and Tripping Over Clouds, both published by Carcanet Press, as well as a hybrid novel, Through the Weather Glass, published by Knives Forks & Spoons.
