Allan Jackdaw, an unremembered early twentieth-century poet, undertakes a fantastical journey on the hidden Sea-Green Line of the London Underground. Along the way he meets the ghosts of William Blake, Robert Tressell and John Davidson before disembarking in a secret, parallel city, a living, bustling socialist London.

Alan Morrison's previous collections include The Mansion Gardens (2006) and A Tapestry of Absent Sitters (2009). He is the founding editor of the radical literary webzine, the Recusant.
