In poems that are sometimes celebratory, at other times darkly comic, Andrew Sant’s fascination is with energy as a creative and destructive force. There are combustibles fuelling speed and there is the fuel of desire; food as fuel on a plate and food for thought. Highly visual, rhythmically charged and suffused with feeling, the poems are often set against a background of deep geologic time influencing a present in which puzzled humans—and better adapted insects and plants—are seen to be engaged in their various acts of survival. Fuel represents a journey that begins and ends with water.
