A brilliant new collection from one of Britain's finest contemporary poets. 'An Arbitrary Light Bulb' is Ian Duhig's most personal collection of poems to date. It takes its title from the most common type of household bulb - yet one whose name is virtually unknown. Duhig finds in the arbitrary an image for the randomness of inspiration and of life, haunted here by deaths of family and friends. He laments the lost but also responds to the glories of our existence, especially among the overlooked, with humour, technical variety and contagious pleasure.
