![]() ![]() The Martian's Regress is a brilliant, provocative, often darkly comic work that explores what a fragile environment eventually makes of those who persist in tampering with it. This is the story of what life becomes when stripped of all that makes it worth living - of what humans become when they lose their humanity. Cut off from his people, the martian's story is that of the individual: his duty at odds with his desire the race of which he's still a part playing always on his mind, as well as the race that once was. During this journey back to the now-broken and long-abandoned mother planet, the martian begins to consider his own uncertain origins, and his own future. He leaves behind him a hardened survivalist culture, its muddled myths and songs, its continued abuse of the environment that sustains it. **SHORTLISTED FOR THE TS ELIOT PRIZE 2020** From the winner of the Costa Poetry Award A lone martian returns to Earth. ![]()
