A 40-year conversation between words and silence lies at the core of Philip Gross's poetry, never more so than in this edgy homage to Estonia, the country of his refugee fatherâ s birth. The shapeshifting monologues of Evi And The Devil draw on folktale, dark humour, the routine atrocities of history and a vivid sense of place.
