Description
Scoring in injury time is about endings. It is likely the last collection of poetry that will be published by the distinguished poet, Francis Sparshott. Autumnal images of geese and derelict buildings haunt these poems, though Sparshott also takes the time to make some pointed social commentary. These are poems in a minor key, punctuated with occasional bright bits of satire. But in the end you are left with the image of man who will "sit at my desk and warm/what is left of your hand in mine."
