English Not Spoken is the third Caparison volume by Christopher Moncrieff following on from the Cambridge-based Mermaids in Wormwood (2021) and the Kaffeehaus-haunting Tabac Blond (2019). This third volume recalibrates the Continental travelogue and military reminiscences of the latter and the surreal Mortmere-esque grotesque of the former with the poet’s signature mordant wit and satirical deconstruction. … Erudite, linguistically didactic, lyrically disarming, surreal, polemical, musical—English Not Spoken is another compelling volume from this most passionately European of poets who just happens, for the moment, to be writing in England.
