The book's title derives from the long, central, hyper-associative poem, 'from The Foldings' - trawlerman's turquoise being a phrase to describe a psychic glimpse of the ocean for perennial inner-city dwellers, who have only ever heard rumour of one. Caley's lyrics and love poems are poised between sincerity and its inverse, and a seeming 'parallel world', which gradually emerges, sits at odds with, and sheds light on, the current state of our actual world - full of melting borders, random dangers, shifting identities, misread communiqués, false reports and information overload - destabilising and exhilarating in equal measure.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloodaxe Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47999534563479,"sku":"9781780374888","price":823.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781780374888.webp?v=1783600946","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/trawlermans-turquoise-9781780374888","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
