Trapped in his memories of the disaster, he tracks the Hillsborough inquests, questioning everything.As the young women negotiate Sheffield s violent inheritance, the rock faces of Stanage and their relationships with each other, Mort stunningly grounds these journeys of trust and trauma, fear and falling, in the texture of the urban and natural terrain underfoot.’A beautifully accomplished debut…a deeply felt work of loss, time and healing’ Guardian Helen Mort is unmistakably one of the most brilliant poets of her generation; Black Car Burning shows her to be a remarkable novelist Robert Macfarlane
