Pirate Rain explores arbitrary power, as delivered by piratical, natural and human forces. Greed and ambition cause disasters in the poems, in complex sequences – featuring Hillary Clinton and Eleanor Roosevelt, and the return of George Jefferys and Clare. It interweaves political poems with a more personal poetry, probing the boundaries between autobiography and persona.
