Giles Goodland (born 1964) is a British poet who has published eight books of poetry, the most recent being The Dumb Messengers (Salt Publishing 2012). The poem ‘1929’ is from Spy in the House of Years (2001). The book contains one 14-line poem for each year of the twentieth century. Each poem is a collage of phrases taken from pieces published in the year in question. Goodland creates a sense of coherence in the poems through his careful choice of material and the way he ‘pastes’ it together.
